Uh, trade deadline, NHL trade deadline came and went yesterday, uh, for the first time in, I don't even know how many, how many years I, it's been a while since this has happened.

The Canadians did not paper transaction anyone, uh, from the NHL squad down to Laval, which means that no one currently on the NHL roster will be sent to Laval to help them out in the playoffs.

Uh, when, when the rocket gets the post season.

So there's no help coming.

Nope.

There is not.

And so that is something to keep in mind.

And also keep in mind the AHL trade deadline extends for another week.

So you may see some transactions happening for Laval or for other teams throughout this next week because the AHL trade deadline is different than the NHL trade deadline.

For the ECHL, the Trois-Rivières Lions, they are currently sixth in the North Division, 21st overall in the ECHL.

They've stalled out a little bit again, and they're going to need to find something pretty special in their back pocket to finish out the season if they have any hopes of the postseason.

And part of that is goaltending with Hunter Jones up with Lavelle.

He has since returned with Jacob Fowler coming back on Friday night.

That's right.

So speaking of the NHL trade deadline, let's just highlight some of the notable things that did occur, many of which do directly have an effect for the Montreal Canadiens.

The first one being there were plenty of people who were pounding their fists on the table that they wanted Kent Hughes to get in on this.

I'm this one.

I'm glad Kent Hughes stayed out of it.

But Colorado acquired basically Kadri going back home.

Colorado getting forward Nazem Kadri and a fourth round 2027 draft pick from Calgary for a whole boatload of stuff, Rick.
