When Will Trades Begin to Occur?
Jim Biringer of NHLRumors.com and Full Press NHL joined the Rod Pedersen Show on Monday and was asked whether some trades could occur before the vacation freeze. Despite the chatter across the league, there’s a great probability those deals occur after the break.

Rod Pedersen: “And I brought you on here because you’ve gotten been working your buns off covering NHL rumors. I feel prefer it’s like your favorite thing, and these day we don’t wait until the NHL Trade Deadline anymore, since the deals are done, like principally starting now the massive ones. That’s the trend that it’s moved towards. So are you expecting anything in December?”
NHL Rumors: Could Teams Improve Other Areas As a substitute of Goaltending
Jim Biringer: “I don’t think so. I don’t, I mean, unless something comes together like real quick, I don’t expect anything before the vacation freeze. Again, I believe the best way the standings are at once, the whole lot’s so tight. We’re just coming out of American Thanksgiving, U.S. Thanksgiving and teams are only separated by a few points within the Eastern Conference.
I mean, who expected the (Philadelphia) Flyers to be where they’re? Buffalo’s still in it. All these teams are still in it. Within the West, yeah. Calgary, Vancouver, St Louis, Nashville, all those teams are near the underside. However the Flames are playing higher. St Louis has picked up points. Vancouver, again, what are we doing in Vancouver? Because we send out a memo, but who’s really available?
I expect things to occur after the vacation freeze, after Christmas, and heading into the Olympic break. And I do expect the deadline to be pretty busy, but again, until I see it actually occur, there’s plenty of chatter, but at once, no motion.”
NHLRumors.com Note: Throughout the start of the season, we now have heard about different teams seeking to make moves. The issue is that the standings are so tight. While teams are talking, prices are still high. While everyone would love to see deals made, no person is willing to take the danger at once. Not to say who’s giving up a first-round pick for the upcoming draft.

As mentioned on TSN Radio in Montreal Saturday, in an analogous worded query, the trades all of us expect to occur now or on the deadline could wait until the summer. Nonetheless, there’s a great probability that more will probably be known about specific teams following the vacation freeze heading into the Latest Yr.
