During trade deadline week, the NHL saw notable activity, albeit less than previous years. The Islanders made a significant move by acquiring center Brayden Schenn from St. Louis, while also extending Jean-Gabriel Pageau’s contract. The Avalanche bolstered their roster by trading for Nicolas Roy and reuniting with Nazem Kadri from Calgary. Additionally, defensemen like MacKenzie Weegar and John Carlson switched teams, while a deal for Colton Parayko fell through for the Sabres.
