While much of the buzz surrounding the NHL trade deadline comes before it, there are always moves (or a lack thereof) that generate conversation in the days that follow. And that's no different during the 2020-21 season after the deadline arrived on Monday at 3 p.m. ET.
Just because a player whose name was featured in trade rumors didn't get dealt doesn't mean that his team didn't try to move him ahead of the deadline. It also means that the player's time with the team could be nearing an end after the season, if not earlier.
