The NHL's 2023-24 season is set to get underway in less than one month and on Friday, we got some new information about one of the league's biggest dates of the year, the trade deadline.
According to TSN's Chris Johnston, the National Hockey League has set this season's trade deadline for Friday, March 8th at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT.
The NHL has only scheduled four games for Friday, March 8th, all of which begin well after the trade deadline passes:
It'll be interesting to see which names pop up throughout the season and towards the trade deadline as to who's available. There are several players in Canadian markets that are on expiring contract including Mark Scheifele and Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets, as well as Noah Hanifin, Mikael Backlund and Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames.
