Tradecentre has come and gone and TSN.ca has a roundup of all the trades that unfolded during a busy 2022 Trade Deadline day.


Rangers add Merkley

The New York Rangers continued making additions on Monday, acquiring forward Nick Merkley in exchange for Anthony Bitetto.

Merkley, 24, has scored four goals and added 11 assists in 41 career NHL games between the Sharks, New Jersey Devils, and Arizona Coyotes.


Copp officially traded to New York

The Winnipeg Jets have officially traded forward Andrew Copp and a sixth-round pick in 2023 to the New York Rangers in exchange for forward Morgan Barron, two conditional second-round picks and a fifth-round pick in 2023.


Preds weren't close to moving Forsberg

Nashville Predators GM David Poile said the team "never, ever seriously" got into trading forward Filip Forsberg. 

β€œI have faith we will be able to come up with a deal Filip likes and we will live happily ever after for many years," said Poile. 

Forsberg, 27, has 33 goals and 25 assists in 58 games this season. He is in the final year of a six year, $36 million contract he signed with the club in 2016.


Flames, Sens get together for late move

One goalie locked up and another coming in for the Ottawa Senators.

Salim Valji reports the Calgary Flames have traded goaltender Michael McNiven to the Sens.

McNiven, 24, had been traded to the Flames earlier this month from the Montreal Canadiens for future considerations.

Earlier on Monday, the Sens signed Anton Forsberg to a three-year extension.


Domi deal complications

It appears the Florida Panthers will help facilitate the trade of Max Domi from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Pierre LeBrun reports what complicates matters is that there are a few unsigned players involved in the deal.


More on Rakell (UPDATE)

We mentioned that a roster player would be headed to the Anaheim Ducks from the Pittsburgh Penguins as part of the Rickard Rakell deal and we now know who it is.

It's actually two players. Bob McKenzie reports the players in question are centre Zach Aston-Reese and forward Dominik Simon.

The 27-year-old Aston-Reese is in his fifth NHL season and has two goals and nine assists in 52 games this year.

Simon, 27, was in his second stint with the Pens. He has nine points in 55 games in 2021-2022.


Namestnikov set for Stars

The Dallas Stars left it late, but landed Vlad Namestnikov.

A fourth-round pick heads the other way to the Detroit Red Wings.

In his ninth season, Namestnikov has 13 goals and 12 assists in 60 games.


Flames land Carpenter

The Calgary Flames got a late deal done, pending a trade call.

Chris Johnston reports the team is landing centre Ryan Carpenter from the Chicago Blackhawks.

Carpenter, 31, has three goals and eight assists in 59 games this season.


The return for Rakell

The Pittsburgh Penguins' late deal for Rickard Rakell went through in time.

Bob McKenzie reports it will be a 2022 second-round pick, a prospect and roster player headed to the Anaheim Ducks.

Rakell, 28, has 16 goals and 12 assists in 51 games this season.


Reimer not moved

While teams were interested, James Reimer did not get traded.

The San Jose Sharks chose to hang on to the veteran netminder.


Canes make late push for Domi (UPDATE: Push successful)

Did the Carolina Hurricanes acquire Max Domi? Yes, they did.

Pierre LeBrun reports the team's late push for the Columbus Blue Jackets forward was done in time.

In 53 games this season, the Winnipeg native has nine goals and 23 assists.


Oilers land Brassard late

The Edmonton Oilers acquired Derick Brassard from the Philadephia Flyers ahead of the window slamming shut.

In his 15th season, Brassard has six goals and 10 assists in 31 games this season.

A native of Hull, Que., Brassard joins his 10th NHL team.


Chychrun stays in the desert

Jacob Chychrun has not been traded.

The Arizona Coyotes did not move the 23-year-old defenceman ahead of the 3PM ET deadline.

The team could revisit his situation in the offseason.

Phil Kessel was also not traded.


Copp set for Blueshirts

Andrew Copp is set for Manhattan.

Darren Dreger reports the New York Rangers are finalizing a deal for the Winnipeg Jets forward and could also be working on a deal for Vancouver Canucks forward Tyler Motte.

Copp, 27, has 13 goals and 25 assists in 56 games this season. 


Hammond joins Jersey

Andrew Hammond is on the move.

The Montreal Canadiens have traded the goaltender to the New Jersey Devils for forward Nate Schnarr.

The 34-year-old Hammond was 3-0-0 in four games with the Habs this season, with a GAA of 2.40 and a .920 SV%.


Another all-Canadian deal

The Ottawa Senators and Winnipeg Jets have gotten together for a deal.

Zach Sanford is headed to the Jets from the Sens in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

The 27-year-old winger had nine goals and eight assists in 62 games for the Sens this season.


Colorado for Cogliano

We mentioned Andrew Cogliano's name earlier as a potential trade target and he is, in fact, on the move.

The veteran forward has been dealt by the San Jose Sharks to the Colorado Avalanche for a fifth-round pick in 2024.


Caps land Larsson

The Washington Capitals stayed busy with the acquisition of forward Johan Larsson from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for a third-round pick.

In his 10th season, Larsson has six goals and nine assists. Larsson has missed the last 19 games with a lower body injury.

The Coyotes will retain 50 per cent of his salary.


Lehkonen heads to Avs

The Montreal Canadiens traded forward Artturi Lehkonen to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for defenceman Justin Barron and a 2024 second-round pick,

Barron, 20, was the 25th overall pick of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The Halifax native made his NHL debut this season.

The Habs will retain 50 per cent of Lehkonen's salary in the deal.


Sateri among flurry of waiver claims

Newly signed goaltender Harri Sateri won't be suiting up with the Toronto Maple Leafs after all.

The Arizona Coyotes claimed the Finnish goaltender on waivers. Sateri, who just won gold at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, needed to clear waivers to be added to the Leafs roster after they had signed him on Sunday.

Elsewhere, the Vancouver Canucks have brought back forward Brad Richardson, claiming him from the Calgary Flames and Derrick Pouliot was claimed by the Seattle Kraken from the Vegas Golden Knights.

Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek cleared waivers. Also clearing were Leafs forward Kyle Clifford, New Jersey Devils forward Christian Jaros, Edmonton Oilers forward Kyle Turris and forward Riley Nash of the Arizona Coyotes.


Leddy singing the Blues

Nick Leddy is headed to the Show Me State.

Kevin Weekes reports the Detroit Red Wings have traded the veteran blueliner to the St. Louis Blues.

In his 12th season and first in Detroit, Leddy has appeared in 55 games for the Red Wings this season, scoring a goal and adding 15 assists over 21:33 of ice time a night.


Senyshyn to the Capital 

The Ottawa Senators have acquired forward Zach Senyshyn and a 2022 fifth-round pick in exchange for defenceman Josh Brown and a conditional seventh-round pick in 2022. 


Oilers Get Kulak

The Montreal Canadiens are trading defenceman Brett Kulak to the Edmonton Oilers for William Lagesson and a 2nd-round pick, according to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie. 

The 28-year-old Kulak has three goals and 10 assists in 56 games this season for the Habs, his fourth in Montreal. 


Cogliano in play?

Veteran forward Andrew Cogliano could be on the move before the clock strikes 3PM ET.

Bob McKenzie reports that both the New York Rangers and Colorado Avalanche are among the teams interested in the 15-year pro who has four goals and 11 assists in 56 games this season.


A touching tribute from the Predators

The Nashville Predators might have traded future considerations to the Toronto Maple Leafs for defenceman Alex Biega, but they won't be forgotten.

Beautiful.


Preds keep busy

One of the busier teams over the past 48 hours is still at it.

The Nashville Predators have acquired forward Brayden Burke from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for defenceman Frederic Allard.

Allard appeared in one game for the Preds this season.


Rangers add some Braun

Justin Braun is on his way to the New York Rangers.

Pierre LeBrun reports a 2023 third-round pick will be headed the other way to the Philadelphia Flyers.

A 12-year veteran from Minneapolis, Braun has appeared in 61 games this season for the Flyers, scoring five goals and adding 11 assists in 20:06 of ice time a night.


Leafs ship Biega to Nashville

The Toronto Maple Leafs were in Nashville on Saturday night and decided to leave something for their hosts.

The team has traded defenceman Alex Biega to the Predators.

The 33-year-old Biega has spent a majority of his season with the American Hockey League's Toronto Marlies. He's appeared in two games for the Leafs this season.

A native of Montreal, Biega is a veteran of 179 NHL games over eight seasons with the Leafs, Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks.


Sandin absent from Leafs practice

We talked about what the Toronto Maple Leafs might still do today a little earlier, but there's a new wrinkle.

Defenceman Rasmus Sandin was absent from practice on Monday morning with an injury, potentially one incurred on Saturday night in Nashville.

Bob McKenzie notes that if he were to be placed on LTIR, that could give the Leafs a little more cap flexibility should they make any other moves today.

With cap constraints a concern for the Leafs, getting Jake Muzzin back in the lineup doesn't appear to be an issue.

McKenzie notes that there is salary cap room available for Muzzin to be reintegrated once he is ready.

The veteran defenceman has not played since Feb. 21.


Making room for Fleury

With the acquisition of Marc-Andre Fleury, there was going to be an odd man out in the Minnesota Wild crease and that man is Kaapo Kahkonen

Pierre LeBrun reports the 25-year-old Finn has been dealt to the San Jose Sharks for defenceman Jacob Middleton.

Kahkonen is 12-8-3 this season with a .910 save percentage and a goals against average of .910.

The 26-year-old Middleton is in his first full NHL season after having played 14 games over the previous three. He's averaged just over 19:00 of ice time a night for the Sharks.


More on Johansson to the Caps

We now know a little more about what's headed to the Seattle Kraken from the Washington Capitals for Marcus Johansson.

The Washington Post's Samantha Pell reports that forward Daniel Sprong and multiple draft picks will be Seattle's return.

Sprong, 25, is in his sixth NHL season. In 47 games this season, the Dutchman has eight goals and six assists.


Fleury heads to Wild

Marc-Andre Fleury is headed to the State of Hockey.

The Chicago Blackhawks have traded the reigning Vezina winner to the Minnesota Wild. Heading back to Chicago is a conditional first-round pick.

Fleury has appeared in 45 games for the Blackhawks this season, posting a 19-21-5 mark with a goals against average of 2.95 and a .908 save percentage.

Fleury, 37, is in his 18th NHL season, having won three Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

 


Jets move Little's deal to Coyotes

The Winnipeg Jets are trading Bryan Little and Nathan Smith to the Arizona Coyotes for a fourth-round pick in a move that will give the Jets some financial flexibility.

Little, 34, hasn't played since the 2019-2020 season, dealing with concussion-related issues, and isn't expected to play again. He has two years and $10.4 million remaining on his contract.

Chris Johnston notes that the Coyotes had previously looked at acquiring Shea Weber's contract and have in the past made similar trades for Chris Pronger and Pavel Datsyuk.

Along with Little, the Coyotes receive the rights to collegiate centre Nathan Smith, who Darren Dreger notes, was not going to be signing with the Jets.


What's next for the Leafs?

The Toronto Maple Leafs made a splash on Sunday with the acquisitions of Mark Giordano and Colin Blackwell, but they might not be finished.

Forward Ondrej Kase incurred a suspected head injury during Saturday night's loss to the Nashville Predators and could miss time. Bob McKenzie reports that the team could look to replace him should Kase need to be placed on LTIR.

The team also placed goaltender Petr Mrazek on waivers on Sunday and signed Finland Olympic goalie Harri Sateri as a free agent.

With two more years after this one remaining on Mrazek's deal, McKenzie notes that while it's unlikely Mrazek gets claimed, it's not out of the question. Sateri, who also was waived for the purposes of an NHL call-up, still does not have a visa, which will keep him away from the team for at least a week should he go unclaimed.

Injured starter Jack Campbell (ribs) is still out for at least a week or more, while defenceman Jake Muzzin (UBI) is getting closer to a return.

McKenzie notes that should the Leafs not use LTIR, it would be dollar in, dollar out for any further transactions the club chooses to make.


Bruins re-up DeBrusk, but is this a prelude to a trade?

The busy morning for extensions continues.

The Boston Bruins announced the re-signing of forward Jake DeBrusk to a two-year, $8 million extension.

DeBrusk, 25, is in his fifth NHL season. In 57 games this season, he has 15 goals and 11 assists.

A native of Edmonton and the son of former Oilers enforcer Louie DeBrusk, DeBrusk was originally taken with the 14th overall selection of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft out of the Western Hockey League's Swift Current Broncos.

But what comes next?

TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston reports the team could still be looking to move DeBrusk even after the extension.


McBain deal official

Jack McBain's trade to the Arizona Coyotes is now officially wrapped up

A 2022 second-round pick originally belonging to the Vancouver Canucks will be headed to the Minnesota Wild.

Note that McBain is unsigned, so the deal is only for his rights.


Forsberg staying in the Capital

Anton Forsberg isn't headed to free agency after all.

The Ottawa Senators announced a three-year, $8.25 million extension for the goaltender on Monday.

The 29-year-old Forsberg is in his second season with the Sens. In 31 games this season, he's 14-12-2 with a goals against average of 2.77 and a .918 save percentage.

Forsberg is in his seventh NHL season, having previously suited up for the Columbus Blue Jackets, Chicago Blackhawks and Carolina Hurricanes.


Holding On

With the Dallas Stars fighting for a playoff spot, it appears the team will hold on to defenceman John Klingberg as a potential 'own rental.'

TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun notes that the window is slightly open if the Stars receive an offer that forces them to consider dealing the pending UFA.

Klingberg has four goals and 34 points in 54 games this season with the Stars while carrying a cap hit of $4.25 million. 

The 29-year-old has spent his entire career with Dallas since being selected in the fifth round of the 2010 draft.

 


Senators Watch

Ottawa Senators general manager Pierre Dorion joined TSN's TradeCentre coverage Monday morning, providing several updates on the team.

Dorion said his phone has been ringing and more trades could be in store for Ottawa today after the team acquired Travis Hamonic and traded Nick Paul on Sunday.

The general manager also said that prospect Jake Sanderson will join the Senators next season. As for goaltender Anton Forsberg, Dorion said they've held initial contract extension talks with the pending unrestricted free agent. 

 


Done Deal

The Coyotes have signed goaltender Karel Vejmelka to a three-year contract extension, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports.

The deal will carry an average annual value of $2.725 for Vejmelka, who was scheduled to be a restricted free agent this summer.

 


Back to D.C.?

TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston reports that the Washington Capitals have interest in a reunion with veteran forward Marcus Johansson.

Johansson has six goals and 23 points in 51 games with the Seattle Kraken this season. 

The 31-year-old was drafted by the Capitals in the first round of the 2009 draft and spent the first seven years of his career with the franchise.

A veteran of 735 NHL games, Johansson has 141 goals and 401 points with the Capitals, Minnesota Wild, Buffalo Sabres, Boston Bruins and New Jersey Devils. 

 


Staying Put

The Arizona Coyotes are closing on a three-year extension with goaltender Karel Vejmelka, TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports.

Dreger reports Vejmelka is expected to carry a cap hit of $3 million under the new contract, which comes one day after the Coyotes traded goaltender to the Dallas Stars. 

The 25-year-old has a 10-23-1 record this season with a .905 save percentage and a 3.35 goals-against average after spending the past nine years in the Czech Republic League. 

Vejmelka, selected in the fifth round of the 2015 NHL Draft by the Nashville Predators, joined the Coyotes as a free agent last spring.

 


On the Move?

It appears Andrew Cogliano's stay with the San Jose Sharks could be a short one.

TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun reports the Sharks are looking to find a home on a contender for the 34-year-old pending unrestricted free agent.

Cogliano has four goals and 15 points in 56 games with the Sharks this season. He carries a $1 million cap hit under the one-year deal he signed with the team last summer.

A veteran of 1,122 NHL games, Cogliano has 174 goals and 425 points over his career with the Edmonton Oilers, Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars and Sharks.

 


Early Morning Move

The first deal of Tradecentre is already in the books with the Winnipeg Jets trading defenceman Nathan Beaulieu to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional seventh-round pick.

Beaulieu has four assists in 24 games with the Jets this season. He had one assist in 25 games with the team last season.

The 29-year-old is a pending unrestricted free agent, carrying a cap hit of $1.25 million.
