Order is from Latest Trade to "First" Trade

RD John Klingberg - SHARKS - To Minnesota from Anaheim - Hard to say if this improves the Sharks or not.
LW Nick Ritchie - RED WINGS - To Calgary from Anaheim - He's still going to sit in the minors, so doesn't really matter.
LW Jordan Greenway - PENGUINS - To Buffalo from Minnesota - Should see a minor improvement, but probably in the minors anyway, or should be.
F Jakub Vrana - HABS - To St Louis from Detroit - Should see a significant bump in performance in STL.
C/LW Max Domi - HAWKS - To Dallas from Chicago - Was having a "good" year in Chicago. Might see a small bump.
G Jonathan Quick - DEVILS - To Vegas from Columbus from LA - Likely not going to play in games for the Devils unless his others don't play. Likely doesn't make an impact.
RW Jakub Voracek - DEVILS - To Arizona from Columbus - Who knows. Goes from one shit team, to another. Maybe a bit better? Shrug.
LW Tyler Bertuzzi - PENGUINS - To Boston from Detroit - Goes from a mediocre team, to a cup contender. Does he play down the line up or does he have a chance to play a lot again? Should see a bump.
C/LW Mikael Granlund - STARS - To Pittsburg from Nashville - If plays top 6 minutes, he should see an improvement over the duration of this season.
LD Jakob Chychrun - RED WINGS - To Ottawa from Arizona - While not in the playoffs in the SFHL this year, this should bode well for the RED WINGS going forward.
RD Filip Hronek - STARS - To Vancouver from Detroit - Goes from top spot on the NHL Red Wings to 2nd pp unit on Canucks. If plays with Hughes, expect a big bump.
LD Shayne Gostisbehere - DEVILS - To Carolina from Arizona - Depends on how he's used in Carolina. Surrounded by way better players for sure.
LD Vladislav Gavrikov - PENGUINS - To LA from Columbus - Definitely in a better situation in LA. Should improve.
RW Patrick Kane - STARS - To NYR from Chicago - Was killing it in Chicago. Expect that to continue in NYR as he is reunited with Panarin.
LW Gustav Nyquist - DEVILS - To Minnesota from Columbus - Likely an improvement over time, but not a needle mover for the SFHL.
LD Mattias Ekholm - RED WINGS - To Edmonton from Nashville - Moves out from Josi's shadow. Should see a pts bump next season.
RD Tyson Barrie - DEVILS - To Nashville from Edmonton - Likely drops off not playing with McDavid and Draisatl.
RD Rasmus Sandin - BOLTS - To Washington from Toronto - This one is interesting. He's a young player, TBD.
C/LW Marcus Johansson - KNIGHTS - To Minnesota from Washington - This is a wash. Likely won't do any better here than Washington. Probably drops off a bit.
LW Tanner Jeannot - KNIGHTS - To Tampa Bay from Nashville - This 7th in Calder voting player should do better in Tampa, but don't expect more than 0.5 ppg.
LW Timo Meier - BRUINS - To New Jersey from San Jose - Was doing well in SJ, expect even more production in NJ.
C/LW Ivan Barbashev - KNIGHTS - To Vegas from St Louis - Will probably perform the same in Vegas as he did in STL
RW Evgenni Dadonov - AVS - To Dallas from Montreal - Might see a bump, probably will be about the same.
RW Denis Gurianov - BRUINS - To Montreal from Dallas - Not likely to matter to the rebuilding Bruins. Even with the rebuild, this player likely isn't making the starting line up soon.
RW Nino Niederreiter - HABS - To Winnepeg from Nashville - Should improve with Winnipeg surrounded by slightly better players.
LD Dmitry Orlov - HAWKS - To Boston from Washington - Definitely will be a bump in his performance in Boston. This worked out well for the HAWKS.
C Ryan O’Reilly - SHARKS - To Toronto from St Louis - Out of the playoffs, and on an one year SFHL deal - This has no impact on SFHL at this time. Will be a UFA next SFHL season.
RW Vladimir Tarasenko - HAWKS - To NYR from St Louis - Player is on a 1 year SFHL contract and HAWKS not in the playoffs. What a waste.
C Bo Horvat - KNIGHTS - To NYI from Vancouver - Not performing as well as he did in Vancouver.
LW Anthony Beauvillier - DEVILS - To Vancouver from NYI - Performing better in Vancouver than he did with the NYI.
