Parayko Stays Put as a Quiet, Term‑Driven NHL Deadline Unfolds

A notably quiet NHL trade deadline saw teams value term and player autonomy over blockbuster swaps: Colton Parayko stayed in St. Louis, blocking a Blues rebuild path and leaving Buffalo without the big defense addition; Colorado boosted its center depth with Kadri and Nic Roy; Edmonton still lacked a true scoring winger or elite goalie; Anaheim added John Carlson to spark offense; Minnesota and New York didn’t land game‑changing pieces; Toronto scored a late first‑round pick for Nic Roy while Chicago kept selling. The goalie market underwhelmed, and the overarching takeaway is that depth and term won the day more than splashy deals.

Celebrini joins McDavid on Canada’s Olympic line, signaling a bold role in Milano Cortina

Coach Jon Cooper praised Celebrini’s maturity and potential, while Celebrini and McDavid stressed the need to build chemistry; lines may shift before Canada’s opener against Czechia.
