Notably, blockbuster players such as Vladimir Tarasenko to the New York Rangers and Ryan O'Reilly to the Toronto Maple Leafs have already been traded. Recently, the Boston Bruins added Dmitry Orlov and Garnett Hathaway from the Washington Capitals.
The Bruins have now made another trade with the Colorado Avalanche. Although it may be a minor trade, the Avalanche's acquisition of a goaltender with NHL experience could prove crucial in the playoffs, where teams may be forced to rely on their third-string goalies, as we saw happen last year.
