NHL Trade Deadline 2021: Date, End Time, Top Rumors and Speculation
As the playoffs loom large, NHL teams are either buying or selling based on their position in the standings.
The sellers are stocking up for the future and buyers are going all in on fortifying their rosters for what they hope will be a squad that gets them all the way to the Stanley Cup.
Reigning champ Tampa Bay Lightning just made a deal that solidifies them as the favorite to repeat.
In a three way trade, the Lightning got defenseman David Savard in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2021 to Detroit and a first-round pick in 2021 and a third-round pick in 2022 to Columbus.
