Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ***
Analysis: The Canucks and Blackhawks swap young forwards with the 24-year old Gaudette going to Chicago and the 25-year old Highmore going to Vancouver
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ***
Analysis: This is a fantastic deal for the Bruins on the eve of the NHL trade deadline, as they receive the former MVP Hall (29) and a depth forward in Lazar (26) in exchange for Bjork (24) and a 2nd round pick in this year's draft. This seems like a big buy-low scenario with the Bruins really not giving up much at all in getting one of the deadline's most coveted players
Analysis: End of an era as the Kings send the 2-time Stanley Cup Champion and long-time forward Carter (36) to the Penguins in exchange for two conditional draft picks

Analysis: The Panthers add a nice depth defenseman in the 27-year old Montour in exchange for a 3rd round pick in this year's draft
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ***
Analysis: With Pavel Francouz likely out for the season, Joe Sakic adds a nice veteran backup in the 34-year old Dubnyk in exchange for Pateryn (who they acquired earlier this season) and a 5th round pick in this year's draft
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ***
Analysis: The Avs re-acquire the 29-year old defenseman Nemeth after letting him go to free agency in 2019. Nemeth will be a nice depth defenseman for the Avs heading into the playoffs
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ***
Analysis: The Leafs add a nice defensive specialist in the 31-year old Nash, who's out 4-6 weeks with a sprained knee and will return for the playoffs. If Nash plays in 25% of the Leafs playoff games, the 7th round pick becomes a 6th
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ***
Analysis: I really like this trade for Stan Bowman and the Hawks, adding a nice veteran piece in the 28-year old Connolly and 2 promising young players Borgstrom (23) and Stillman (23) in exchange for Wallmark (25) and Carlsson (23)

Analysis: The Kings add the 25-year old Lemieux, one of the most hated players in the NHL, in exchange for a 4th round pick in this year's draft
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ***
Analysis: The Canadiens add a great veteran center in Eric Staal as they push for the last playoff spot in the Canadian division. With a lack of depth at center, Staal should be a big boost for the Canadiens and has the experience with a Stanley Cup ring
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ****
Analysis: Minor-league deal
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: **
Analysis: The Leafs add some insurance in net with the 24-year old Vehvilainen and send the offensively-gifted defenseman Lehtonen (who seemed to be the odd man out in Toronto) in return to Columbus.
Forman Faceoff Trade Rating: ***
Analysis: The Hurricanes immediately flipped Galchenyuk to the Leafs in return for two minor-leaguers in Korshkov/Warsofsky. This marks Galchenyuk's 7th team since 2018 (Montreal, Arizona, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Ottawa, Carolina, Toronto).
