The winners (Rangers!) and losers (Flyers) of the 2023 NHL trade deadline

Pencils down, everyone. The 2023 NHL trade deadline is officially over.

This year’s NHL trade deadline has certainly been one for the history books. After years of middling trade deadlines, NHL teams really stepped it up a notch and went all-out with the deals in the weeks leading up to Friday. While the day itself may have been light on the action, over 60 trades were made since the New York Islanders kicked things off with the Bo Horvat deal in late January.

And now, the dust is beginning to settle on an active deadline period that saw many high-end players change hands as the Stanley Cup Playoffs draw near. With the deadline rush over, now is the time to take look at the big picture and draw some early conclusions based on what teams did — or didn’t — do.

Here are our winners and losers from the 2023 NHL trade deadline.
