Looking back at Monday’s NHL trade deadline and taking note of a couple of trades that were unexpected.
It was one crazy NHL Trade Deadline that may be talked about for weeks, months, or even years. There were so many trades after 10 am and 2:30 pm. The last part was expected but the first part was not. Again, the most polarizing trades took place in the closing half-hour and then there were a few wrinkles that dribbled in after 3:00. Let's take a look at two of the more unexpected trades of the afternoon. The first was the Brady Skjei deal to the Carolina Hurricanes.
