As of today, March 10th, 2023, the American Hockey League (AHL) trade deadline has officially arrived. This deadline marks the final opportunity for teams to make any trades before the AHL playoffs begin.
Although the National Hockey League (NHL) trade deadline has already passed, it's worth noting that trades may still be made with players under NHL contracts. However, any player traded past the March 3rd deadline will be ineligible to participate in the 2023 NHL playoffs.
It's important to keep in mind that the AHL trade deadline has a significant impact on player movement within the league. With playoffs around the corner, teams are looking to make last-minute changes to strengthen their rosters and improve their chances of success.
Interestingly, despite the NHL trade deadline being a week ago, we've already seen two trades made involving NHL-contracted players. And today, yet another trade has been announced, indicating that teams are still active in the trade market and looking for ways to improve their chances of success.
