Not all trades are developed equivalent.
Some are made by groups looking for the last piece to a champion puzzle. Others are to alter the locker space dynamic. And others are made with payroll in mind.
Now that the NHL trade due date has actually come and gone for 2024, the B/R hockey group headed back to the tally box for its very first Power Rankings vote considering that all offers went down.
And whaddya understand? Some things simply do not alter.
The Florida Panthers led the league in wins, points, points portion and objective differential for the week, so it’s not a surprise they swept the first-place votes to stay in the No. 1 area for the 4th successive week. There was turmoil behind them.
The Vancouver Canucks jumped an area from 3rd to 2nd, clearing space for the New York Rangers to rise from seventh to 3rd. The Dallas Stars climbed up one area from 5th to 4th, and the quintet is completed by the Boston Bruins, which increased one from 6th to 5th.
Scroll through to see where your preferred group injury up and drop an idea of your own in the remarks.
Data depended on date and votes tallied before video games on Wednesday, March 13.

Previous Ranking: 32
General Record: 16-41-7
A 1-2-0 week made it main that the Sharks will not make the playoffs for a 5th straight season, however that wasn’t a surprise. Unloading Tomáš Hertl to Vegas at the due date together with offers that sent out Anthony Duclair and Kaapo Kähkönen away was.
Conserve your ideas for San Jose basic supervisor Mike Grier, who’s basically rebooting from scratch.
31. Chicago Blackhawks

Previous Ranking: 31
General Record: 18-43-5
The buzz about Connor Bedard was definitely abundant, however it might have been insufficient.
The 18-year-old published the very first five-point video game of his profession in Tuesday’s thrashing of Anaheim and ended up being the very first gamer of that age to do so given that 2011.
Bedard’s 51 points in 52 video games are 13 ahead of the next greatest novice, Brock Faber of the Minnesota Wild.
30. Anaheim Ducks

Previous Ranking: 30
General Record: 23-39-3
It’s everything about the future for the flightless Ducks, who got a first-round choice from Edmonton for Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick to contribute to their own choice, which figures to be in the leading 3 provided their present standing.
And if they win the lotto (which they’ve never ever done), maybe Macklin Celebrini will be putting on a webbed logo design in 2024-25.
29. Columbus Blue Jackets

Previous Ranking: 29
General Record: 22-33-10
The trade that brought winger Alexander Nylander and a conditional 2026 sixth-round choice from Pittsburgh wasn’t a headline-maker, however it’s currently settled for heaven Jackets.
The 2016 No. 8 total choice has 5 objectives and 7 points in 9 video games for Columbus.
28. Arizona Coyotes
5 of 32

Previous Ranking: 28
Total Record: 26-35-5
The offers that brought Jason Zucker, Troy Stecher and Matt Dumba last summertime didn’t produce the veteran-laden competing results the Coyotes wished for, so it’s not a surprise all were turned for choices at the due date.
Another area in the draft’s leading 10 is anticipated this summertime and supplies another possibility to contribute to a gifted young group.
27. Montreal Canadiens

Previous Ranking: 26
Total Record: 25-30-10
Dealing Jake Allen to New Jersey clears the goaltending logjam and develops the duo of Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau as the future, in the meantime a minimum of.
And getting a 2024 first-rounder from Winnipeg for Sean Monahan, who had actually brought a first-rounder with him when he originated from Calgary, was a masterstroke by GM Kent Hughes.
26. Ottawa Senators

Previous Ranking: 27
Total Record: 26-33-4
Steve Staios is headed towards his very first offseason as Ottawa GM after dealing UFA-to-be Vladimir Tarasenko to Florida for 2 choices.
Meantime, the group will limp towards the 2023-24 goal out of the hunt, tracking the Eastern playoff cutline by 16 points getting in Wednesday’s video games.
25. Pittsburgh Penguins

Previous Ranking: 20
General Record: 28-27-9
It would be tough to have a harder week than the one had by the Penguins, who were winless in 4 video games and didn’t do anything for their short-term title opportunities by dealing impending UFA Jake Guentzel to Carolina after they were not able to accept an agreement.
Pittsburgh has actually dropped 5 areas in the rankings and is 7 points behind the existing playoff line.
24. New Jersey Devils

Previous Ranking: 24
General Record: 31-30-4
New Jersey basic supervisor Tom Fitzgerald generated goalie Jake Allen and sent forward Tyler Toffoli, to name a few, in a pre-deadline flurry.
The Devils sat 6 points off the playoff speed going into Wednesday’s video games, and interim coach Travis Green was 1-3-0 in his very first 4 video games given that changing Lindy Ruff.
22. (tie) Calgary Flames

Previous Ranking: 19
General Record: 31-29-5
The Flames were headline-making sellers before and at the due date, discharging veterans and impending UFAs Noah Hanifin (Vegas), Elias Lindholm (Vancouver) and Chris Tanev (Dallas) when it appeared they were not likely to remain.
They’ve lost 3 directly considering that, though, and been outscored 18-6 while doing so.
22. (tie) St. Louis Blues

Previous Ranking: 22
General Record: 33-29-3
Pavel Buchnevich remaining in St. Louis was maybe the greatest Blues-centric news of the week.
The 28-year-old has a year left on an offer that pays $5.8 million each year and will likely remain in the exact same trade report position next winter season unless an extension is signed or an offseason trade is made.
21. Buffalo Sabres
12 of 32

Previous Ranking: 25
Total Record: 31-30-5
To state the Sabres made due date sound is an understatement.
They dealt Casey Mittelstadt to Colorado for 2019 No. 4 total choice Bowen Byram and dealt captain Kyle Okposo for a possibility and a choice.
It most likely will not keep Buffalo from a 13th straight non-playoff season, though the group had actually sneaked within 5 points of the cutline through Tuesday.
20. Washington Capitals
13 of 32

Previous Ranking: 20
General Record: 30-24-9
The optimists are still considering a playoff race that saw the Capitals sitting 3 points underneath the Eastern cutline heading into Wednesday, the realists are focused more on the future and the haul of 14 choices they have in the very first 3 rounds of the next 3 drafts.
19. Seattle Kraken
14 of 32

Previous Ranking: 18
Total Record: 28-24-12
The Kraken were mainly non-active at the due date beyond the extension provided to Jordan Eberle and selected not to trade a little handful of impending UFAs, so a late-season push for the playoffs seems the top priority.
Seattle was 5th in the Pacific and 9 points off the postseason rate heading into Wednesday.
18. Minnesota Wild
15 of 32

Previous Ranking: 23
General Record: 32-27-7
There were more subtractions than additions at the due date, however the Wild are playing like a group with the playoffs in mind, having actually gone 3-0-1 for the week.
They’re 5th in the Central however being in the very first “outdoors searching in” position in the wild-card chase, routing Vegas by 6 points through Tuesday’s video games.
17. New York City Islanders
16 of 32

Previous Ranking: 17
General Record: 29-21-14
Their 2-1-0 week didn’t harmed, however it was thanks to a skidding group above them that the Islanders really got here to Wednesday’s video game in the East’s last playoff area, connected with Detroit with a video game in hand.
New york city is 7-3-0 in its last 10 video games while the Red Wings are 4-6-0, supplying an essential six-point turn.
16. Detroit Red Wings

Previous Ranking: 12
General Record: 33-26-6
Oh, did we point out the Red Wings?
Simply when it appeared safe to recommend they ‘d end a six-year playoff dry spell, they’ve dropped 6 straight video games while being outscored 32-11.
They’ve scored the least objectives, permitted the most, and are the league’s just winless group given that February 29.
15. Tampa Bay Lightning
18 of 32

Previous Ranking: 16
General Record: 34-25-6
The Lightning didn’t make the due date’s sexiest relocations, however the offers that generated forward Anthony Duclair and defenseman Matt Dumba might be substantial for a group with a strong core that’s looking for complementary pieces and injury depth.
Tampa Bay remains in the East’s very first wild-card area however just 2 points above the cutline.
14. Philadelphia Flyers

Previous Ranking: 15
General Record: 34-24-8
The experts kept waiting on the Flyers to stumble and pick a due date selling spree, bu
