Which NHL Eastern Conference trades and signings have aged best and worst?
Key Points:
- Boston Bruins focused on depth additions rather than major splashes; Tanner Jeannot has been a versatile bottom-six contributor despite concerns about his contract, while Viktor Arvidsson and others have provided solid middle- and fourth-line support.
- Buffalo Sabres benefited significantly from acquiring Josh Doan, who has emerged as one of their best forwards, while Michael Kesselring’s impact has been limited by injuries; goalie Alex Lyon has been a key signing.
- Carolina Hurricanes’ marquee signing Nikolaj Ehlers took time to find his fit but has since become a dynamic offensive contributor, and K’Andre Miller has held up well despite increased defensive responsibilities due to injuries.
- Columbus Blue Jackets’ trade for Charlie Coyle and Miles Wood has been a success
