We are hours away from the clock striking midnight 3 p.m. for teams to finalize a trade before the NHL trade deadline.
NHL general managers have just under 15 hours in order to improve their team now or help build the franchise’s future.
It’s one of the craziest days of the hockey season, with players all of a sudden getting sent from one franchise to another. Teams that are eyeing a Stanley Cup have an opportunity to give up draft picks and prospects to get players that help the club win now, while other teams can sell of pending free agents, getting value in return for someone that was going to walk away for nothing in the summer.
The madness has already begun with a number of notable names having been moved ahead of Monday, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t more deals to be made.
So buckle in folks, and let Sporting News keep you updated on all the latest rumors and trades.

NHL trade deadline 2022: Tracking the latest news, rumors
(All times Eastern)
8:47 a.m. — One name that has not been mentioned before in trade rumors is John Gibson, but it’s going around today. There have been few goaltenders on the trade block but he could be one of them.
An interesting name floating around lately: John Gibson
Would certainly be a significant deal if it happens, but it sounds like the #FlyTogether will listen. He has a 10-team no-trade list.

8:21 a.m. — Marcus Johansson, a pending free agent on the Kraken, could be traded today. He would be the sixth Kraken player moved this deadline already.
Keep an eye on Marcus Johansson before the deadline. The #caps have interest in bringing back the veteran forward.

7:50 a.m. — Karel Vejmelka is off the trade board, as the Coyotes have given the goaltender a three-year extension.
Sounds like a 3-year contract for Karel Vejmelka.

7:48 a.m. — The Flyers are not expected to be active sellers, keeping Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov. Only deal they are expected to make is to move Justin Braun.
Expecting the Philadelphia Flyers to be pretty quiet outside of a deal for Justin Braun.

Not overly surprising given that they did their heavy lifting over the weekend.
I’m sure there are outside chances they trade Brassard and Jones, but don’t get the sense those are slam dunks.
They aren’t trading Konecny or Provorov today, either.#BringItToBroad https://t.co/31aHQSulIn

7:30 a.m. — Sounds like Andrew Cogliano will be on the move today as the Sharks shop the pending free agent forward.
Let’s see if forward Andrew Cogliano finds a new home today. Pending UFA, $1M AAV. Quality veteran, help on PK.
Sharks hope to find a home on a contender for him.— Pierre LeBrun (@PierreVLeBrun) March 21, 2022
5:35 a.m. — Nathan Beaulieu is headed from the Jets to the Penguins for a conditional seventh-round pick.
Nate Beaulieu traded from Winnipeg to Pittsburgh for a conditional 7th.
