Some notable NHL players aren't going to be on the ice this weekend. Not because they're injured, but so that they don't get hurt while their teams potentially work out trades for them.
It's been a week filled with rumors around the league, as the trade deadline is quickly approaching. After Monday at 3 p.m. ET, the NHL's 32 teams won't be able to make any deals for the rest of the 2021-22 season. And while some moves have already been made, there are likely to be more the next few days.
Among the big names still being featured in trade rumors include Philadelphia Flyers forward Claude Giroux and Anaheim Ducks defenseman Hampus Lindholm.
