There is a very important period of time coming up in the NHL—one that will determine the fate of more than a few teams who choose to actively participate in it.
Between 12:00 a.m ET on Monday, Feb. 24 and 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday, March 5, it’s like Christmas for NHL general managers and fans alike. It’s the last time this season that any team can make a trade and have the players be eligible to compete in the playoffs.
