Which NHL teams should be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline?

NHL trade deadline season is officially here!

Ahead of the 3 p.m. ET deadline on March 3, there’s been some big transactions already as the days slowly tick off the calendar. Right now, much of the movement has come from the Eastern Conference amidst a competitive playing field. The New Jersey Devils made a big splash after trading for Timo Meier while the New York Rangers swung big by acquiring Vladimir Tarasenko.

With the number of high quality players left on the board, there are still a lot of moves to be made as trade deadline madness has only just begun.

As the NHL trade deadline draws near, let’s take a look at the playbooks for each team. Which teams should be buyers? Who are the sellers? And which clubs should stand pat at the 2023 NHL trade deadline? Let’s dive in!

Alex DeBrincat trade: Who won the Blackhawks and Senators deal?

The Senators absolutely fleeced the Blackhawks for Alex DeBrincat.

It’s safe to say no one saw this coming ahead of the 2022 NHL Draft.

On Thursday, the Ottawa Senators acquired Alex DeBrincat from the Chicago Blackhawks in an absolutely stunning deal. There had been talks for a few weeks now that DeBrincat was likely on the move out of Chicago, but no one believed Ottawa to be a major player in this.

This isn’t the first eyebrow-raising trade of the day, as earlier on the Avalanche traded for goaltender Alexandar Georgiev of the Rangers, but DeBrincat to Ottawa absolutely blows that deal out of the water. Let’s take a look at how the Senators and Blackhawks grade out in the DeBrincat trade, with more madness still to come at the 2022 NHL Draft this evening.

2022 NHL trade deadline winners and losers

Monday’s trade deadline was a busy one.

The 2022 NHL trade deadline has officially come and gone. On a day that saw nearly 30 deals made — at the time of this writing, anyway — it was quite the chaotic afternoon, even though there were very few blockbusters made.

This year’s trade deadline certainly was much more active than the 2021 deadline, which saw fewer than 20 deals made on deadline day, so it’s fair to say the day went by quite fast. Even with over half of the league capped out, nearly every single team made some sort of trade or deal by Monday’s 3 p.m. deadline. And hey, in a flat salary cap world, that’s not too bad!

Now that the rush has died down, let’s take a look at the big picture! Here are our winners and losers from a busy 2022 NHL trade deadline.
