In a surprising move, former Vancouver Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers from the Calgary Flames on January 30, 2025. Only a little over a month later, he was traded yet again to the L.A. Kings in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft. This is the third team Kuzmenko has been on since the start of the year.

The trade deadline is scheduled for noon PST today, and the trade market has already shaken out in fascinating ways. A lot can change in the few hours before the clock hits noon, but until now this has been a bona fide seller’s market.

The 2025 NHL Trade Deadline day is in full swing, and one of the first moves of the day involves a former Vancouver Canucks forward. Anthony Beauvillier, who played 55 games as part of the Canucks in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, has been moved from the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Washington Capitals in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick. Beauvillier was most recognized during his time as a Canucks for being one of the key pieces in the Bo Horvat trade in 2023.

Former Islanders center Brock Nelson is a perfect fit in Colorado, which is why the Avalanche paid so much to get him at the NHL trade deadline before other Cup contenders could, says Ken Campbell.

In one of what will likely be many NHL trade deadline moves, former Nashville Predators winger Anthony Beauvillier is on the move again, moving from the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Washington Capitals and yielding a 2025 second-round pick in the process.

Pittsburgh Penguins POHO and GM Kyle Dubas's deadline day dealing has officially kicked off.

The Buffalo Sabres have acquired Josh Norris and Jacob Bernard-Docker from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Dylan Cozens, Dennis Gilbert, and a 2026 second-round pick.

The Buffalo Sabres displayed their usual inconsistency on defense and between the pipes, falling for the fifth straight game in Tampa Bay, as the recently acquired Oliver Bjorkstrand scored the game-winner in the third period for the Lightning in their 6-5 comeback victory over the Sabres at Amalie Arena on Thursday, but the results of the game were secondary to the speculation regarding the upcoming trade deadline.

The first Mikko Rantanen trade kicked off NHL trade deadline season on Jan. 24. Since then, more than 26 total draft picks and quite a few prospects were involved in the deals afterward.

Brock Nelson wasn't the only player the New York Islanders parted ways with in their trade with the Colorado Avalanche.
