The NHL trade deadline is March 8. Most teams have four or five games from now until then. What happens in those games could determine which teams add or subtract, who stays and who goes at the deadline.
That's how close the standings are in the NHL. Not just around the wild-card bubble, but among those teams who believe the Stanley Cup is in their grasp.
Some teams got ahead of the deadline chaos, with the Vancouver Canucks acquiring Elias Lindholm and the Winnipeg Jets trading for Sean Monahan in January.
