The 2025 NHL Trade Deadline was characterized by a shift to a sellers market, emphasizing quality over quantity in player trades. Several teams made strategic moves, with the Boston Bruins prominently selling off assets for draft picks and younger players. Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks remained relatively quiet with limited trades, while the Buffalo Sabres opted not to maximize draft capital by keeping some key players. Overall, the trend pointed towards teams shoring up their future rather than immediate outcomes.
Not every deal here happened on the trade deadline, but for this, we will be looking at the trades that happened since Jan. 31 as, in spirit, they are deadline moves.
The time has finally come. The Boston Bruins are sellers. They did very well moving on from the free agents on the team, and brought in a big load of draft picks and younger players.
Quality over quantity seemed to be the theme of the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline.
Considering the state of the team, and with players like Trevor Zegras in rumours, it was a bit surprising to see just one player dealt out.
