Congratulations, everyone. We’ve made it to the end of what has been the longest trade deadline week of all time. Seriously, general managers weren’t waiting around to pull the trigger on some pretty newsworthy deals. Patrick Kane, Timo Meier, Jacob Chychrun, and Jonathan Quick (twice!) have already been moved. Who else might go before the 3:00 PM EST deadline? I guess we all have to stay tuned to find out.
I believe we’ll see more and more deals being consummated prior to the deadline day in the future. GMs are realizing that if a big move needs to be made it’s probably better to get it down sooner rather than later.
