One of the weirdest trade deadlines days in recent NHL history!

Fans were expecting blockbusters and crazy moves, but I have to say it was quite calm for a Deadline day. A lot of rumours emerged involving players like Robert Thomas, Blake Coleman, Rasmus Ristolainen, Vincent Trocheck, to name a few, but… they’ve stayed put.

Here are the moves that did take place prior to the deadline at 3 p.m. ET.
