Report: NHL trade deadline set for Feb. 26
by from on (#31FNB)
Circle your calendars: The NHL's trade deadline has reportedly been set for Monday, Feb. 26, 2018, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
The wheeling and dealing will come to a close early this season, as last year's deadline was March 1.
Typically, the precise cutoff is 3 p.m. ET on the assigned day. Over the past couple of years, though, teams have gotten a jump on things by announcing meaningful trades days or weeks in advance of the deadline date, taking a bit of the drama out of the proceedings.
Safe to say it's worth paying close attention once Valentine's Day has come and gone.
