Thread: Trade Deadline Winners and Losers
<strong>Biggest Winners:</strong>
1) <em>NSH</em> - absolute highway robbery of granlund from MIN and also added Simmonds for cheap. 2 very good trades which makes them an even bigger cup favourite.
2) <em>VGK</em> - getting the biggest UFA forward signed signed to an (unofficial) extension.
3) <em>OTT</em> - they get a lot of heat for past trades (and they deserve it), but I cant ignore the return they got for their pending UFAs. This rebuild probably wont take that long.
4) <em>COL</em> - Indirectly win through OTTs moves which nearly guarantees them the best odds at 1st overall. They also got Brassard for cheap to help for a playoff push.
5) <em>NYR</em> - good on them for committing to the rebuild and getting some assets rather than risking letting them walk. Not a huge return for Hayes/McQuaid/Zucc but they made the right choice to move on and got fair value for them.

<strong>Biggest Losers:</strong>
1) <em>TBL</em> - No moves are worse than minor moves when you consider how much some other cup contenders added (NSH, VGK, WPG, SJS, CBJ). TBL should have gone all out on a rental this year in my opinion.
2) <em>MIN</em> - Could have gotten a much bigger return on Granlund in my opinion.

<strong>To Be Determined:</strong>
1) <em>CBJ</em> - this is a big wildcard. They had the balls to go all in with Duchene, Dzingel, McQuaid, &amp; Kinkaid and keep Panarin and Bobrovsky. We will see this offseason if they can resign the big guys or not which will determine if this was a good deadline for them or not.
