On today's episode of Locked on NHL, a full breakdown of the 2026 NHL trade deadline,

which teams seized their moment and made big moves, and which teams didn't live up to

where they're at in their process.

Your Locked on NHL, your daily podcast on the National Hockey League, part of the Locked

on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Hello, I'm Seth Topall.

Welcome to Locked on NHL part of the Locked on Podcast Network.

Now the number one sports podcast network.

Locked on NHL is your daily podcast on the National Hockey League.

We are your team each and every day and we thank you for making Locked on NHL your first

list and every day as well.

miss out on any new episodes throughout the week.

We got new episodes for you every Monday through Friday as part of the Locked on Podcast

Network.

Today's episode is brought to you by Fandall.

Fandall is giving you a way to turn that energy into an even bigger potential win with a

college basketball parlay profit boost at defandall.com to get started.

On today's episode of Locked on NHL, we dive into the trade deadline, which teams were

considered winners, which teams are considered losers, who made critical moves to fuel their

playoff run and which teams didn't sell off enough and who is going to come out of the

meat grinder that is the central, the death machine as we call it, the central division

meat grinder.

My name is Seth Topall host of Locked on Wild joined by JD Young of Locked on Sharks

today and JD, we had a wide range of reactions, wide range of outcomes.

And I have taken the time to sift through all 14,605 potential futures after the trade

deadline to try to figure out which team comes out on top.

And I'm happy to report that the St. Louis Blues are the team that will be winning the Stanley

Cup in the 2026 season.

I mean, they're all fired right now, they sold off half their team, they won four straight

games, including the beating of the Sharks with five defense win, I'm so mad about the

game.

Yeah, sorry about it.

This Blues team though, like you and I have poke, we like to poke our fun at the Blues

for various reasons, but I think they are a big time winner of this trade deadline, where

they sold off some, when you and I have multiple times throughout our history on this show

together and discussed how old and decrepit this blue line is, how are they going to get rid

of it?

Like, how are they going to do it?

They found a way, right?

I think you and I, we forget that GMs love them, some old man defensemen who know how

to win games, and they were able to sell us a lot of their pieces, while still keeping

some of the big names, right?

You didn't see Jordan Kyriega trade, you didn't see Bington get trade, you see Robert Thomas

get traded, so they're kind of put themselves in a good position, where they can, if they

want to try to retool, they have plenty of assets, they can go draft, they can trade them,

or if they feel like this group isn't the group to do it, they still can get a huge haul

for some of these guys, especially when you get to the off season when you're going to

have more people involved, yeah, I think St. Louis Blues big time winners, as nobody

clipped up for me.

That audio never happened, I'm just going to hold up the nebulizer and just erase everybody's

minds just to make sure that never happened.

And you know, for St. Louis, like, you give yourself options, like you went with the garage

sale approach as opposed to the full off, like, I have to sell my house, like, I have to

leave my house, so I have to sell everything that I own.

And that gives them an opportunity to, because last year, St. Louis Blues are one of the

hottest teams in the league in the second half, they made the playoffs.

They obviously suffered a fatal wound against the Winnipeg Jets by losing in the final game

of that series.

What was it, 1.7 seconds, 1.8 seconds, yeah, 1.7 seconds left, yeah, not that that's

the number that Blues fans need to ever hear again, but I'm going to say it anyway.

So they gave themselves the opportunity to, you know, get some assets back in return,

give themselves some flexibility to add pieces in the off season and try to go grab at least

a wild card spot in the playoffs next year.

Yeah, and they have three first round picks this year's draft.

You know, two of them are probably going to be at the end of the first round, but, like,

you can still find good players at the end of the first round.

Or if you want, you're right, you clear to some cap space.

If you want to try to go add a young player from somewhere else, like, you have plenty

of ammunition to do that as well.

And, right, I know the Colton Paraco thing is going to kind of, you know, loom over that

they, you know, tried to trade him and he said, no, he didn't want to go and it's very

well with this, right?

Right, you kind of like you got cut out a lot of the dead weight on your defensive group

now.

And you saw Paraco and, you know, if toy crew doesn't sound like he's going to play again,

you have Camp Fowler, his new contract kicks in next season.

But then, like, it's a lot of younger players here and you really opened up the pipeline

and open up options to be able to start to go out and address that and start to get

much younger on this blue line, which has been kind of the big issue for them the past

couple of seasons, just how old the blue line is.

I think you can have a better balance between youth and veterans on here.

And again, you still have your big pieces in Binnington, Cairo and Thomas.

So if you do want to do something else, like, you can, you're in a good position there.

So I think they are one of the not the biggest winners of the trade deadlines, be honest.

Yeah.

And you go from kind of a calculated sell off, taking an opportunity to just, you know,

recoup some assets to whatever the Rangers did.

And I'm going to just, I'm going to just point blank ask a question of like,

does Chris drew or not believe that his seat is in jeopardy?

Like, does he think that he is going to navigate through this whole thing based off

of how he put this roster together, how he put the letter together for the fans

to tell them that we're going to have to take a step back and then did nothing?

Yeah.

It's a very interesting approach from this team, right?

Where you felt like if you wanted to kind of kickstart and do a bunch of stuff,

like this felt like the time and the jury question, right?

Like he's, he's going to act in a self preservation, even though he knows everybody knows

like he's probably fired at the end of the season, right?

But like, I don't think he can go into it and just, I let, you know,

assuming he didn't get or sign off by management or ownership, I guess,

of like, yes, we got to like burn this thing down.

They still believe in the re-tool, but again, like they do,

they weren't aggressive enough at cutting out the fat, like we just aren't with the blues,

right? They did a great job of kind of cutting out some of the fat,

cutting out some of the kind and like opening up past four young players

and you're going to be able to draft in young players.

I feel like the Rangers, they kind of half did it, right?

Like you got rid of Penaren, which was a good idea, but you basically told everyone

you're not going to resign him and then since he had a no move clause,

he got to basically pick where he wants to go.

So you could recoup a third round pickback, which is like usually a borderline

NHL, a HL type of player, right?

And you know, when you kind of look at the statistics of what type of player

gets drafted in that position.

And then like you didn't really do much else, right?

Like you had JT Miller, who's probably at his all time high value right now.

And apparently you wanted too much for him.

Like yes, I know he's read these signs for the X couple seasons, but like he's 32,

like his value is at an all time high, especially after what happened at the

Olympics, like you're not getting a better offer for him.

You know, your British Schneider is an RFA, which was apparently on the table.

Like you don't even know if you want to keep British Schneider around.

Yeah, this, this team just kind of sat on their hands and I don't think you,

this could have been opportunity to district by the iron is hot.

And they just did nothing.

The New York Rangers, I mean, they've been one of the worst teams in the league

this year.

They still even since jewelry took over are the 11th best team in the league

based on points.

But it just like when your captain has spent most of the first two thirds of

the season saying, I don't know what the issue is, we have to just, we have to

just come back tomorrow and play better.

Like that strikes me as a problem.

Yeah.

The kind of problem where you need to roll your sleeves up and just completely

gut it to the studs.

Yeah.

But I, I clearly, I don't know.

Yeah.

I'm like, yeah, you look at the roster they have like, I know right now,

they've been calling out some of the younger players and stuff like that to get

some, you know, playing time.

But it's like, yeah, you like traded for JT Miller and that's going really great.

As you just said, like I said, this is a true check.

He's signed for the next couple seasons, but like has some trade protection.

But again, like, and I know he didn't want to move out West.

Not I totally get that.

Like that's, that's what that is right.

But like, you see other options that you could have sent him to though.

You had split.

There was plenty of people checking in on him, you know, like, I know, like

Boston right now, for example, there was a plethora of teams.

It's not like there wasn't teams looking for them in every trade deadline.

Right.

I mean, we saw this trade deadline.

Middle six centers get paid, get, like teams pay out the nose to acquire them.

We just saw it at this trade deadline, you know.

Brait and Shen is, you know, going to be like a middle six center at like a first plus.

Like, you know, you, you see just what teams are willing to pay for these middle six centers.

Yeah, just does it makes and especially for a team like if you are going to re-tool,

you need assets to re-tool.

Yeah.

And this is not going to go to this team has been not very good at drafting and developing.

Or, you know, they draft talented players, but they're just unable to develop them.

And yeah, I think this was, if you're a ranger's dead,

you have to feel like you're just stuck in mud right now because the franchise is

no clear direction.

They probably won't have a clear direction until they fire their GM.

That is absolutely correct.

They will not have a clear path forward until their current path ends.

That's, that's about as, that's about as succinctly as I can put it because,

it's been that bad.

But, you know, from not really finding your direction to having one objective at the deadline

and not being able to, you had one objective at the deadline, Vegas.

And you just, you could not, could not complete the Bennington deal that I wanted you to do.

You couldn't do it.

You just could not do it.

I'm not bitter.

We'll talk about the Vegas Golden Knights.

They're pursuit of something as we continue today's special episode of locked on NHL rights after this.

As we continue to break down the trade deadline.

Let's talk about the Vegas Golden Knights for a second because this is a Vegas Golden Knights team that I think we are starting to finally see some leaks.

In the day.

Oh no.

Anyway, like this is this is the part of the ride where the Titanic like the boat captain.

What do they call them the Brigadier?

I don't know.

I think it's just the captain.

When he sees the iceberg and he's like, I don't want to deal with this right now.

I would really just love to go to bed.

Can't take it, ma'am.

I'll just I'll just tell the the port captain.

Uh, about it and he can deal with it.

And the port captain is like, uh, I don't know how to drive the boat, sir.

He's like, he'll figure it out.

He'll be somebody else in it, uh, somebody else's job.

Yeah, uh, Vegas, an interesting deadline for them, right?

Of what they they pulled off this, right?

You, of course, you trade for Anderson from the flames a couple weeks ago.

Because apparently you have Vegas is in an effort to try to acquire every

Calgary defenseman ever that's that's just their whole thing.

It's just let's get all the former flames defenseman.

But yeah, like we've seen the gold tending has been not been up to snuff, right?

Like it has been bad.

Uh, Aiden Hill has not played well this year.

They've been dealing with injuries as well.

Which is a common theme for Vegas goalies is dealing with injuries.

Uh, Carter Hart, who they sign off the street, of course gets hurt right away.

Uh, you've having to kind of throw like a cure schmid in there.

Like it's, it's been a rough and tumble, uh, situation in there.

Mark Stone on his annual IR trip right now is, you know, as for told.

I'm getting to the point where I'm about ready to call it a sabbatical.

It's a sabbatical.

Uh, what they call it's a micro vacation.

I think it's the new thing people are taking micro vacation or no micro retirement.

That's what it is.

It's a micro retirement.

Yeah, it's just taking a micro retirement.

I think it's what they, they call it.

But, um, I, yeah, yeah, the hands up there.

But yeah, this team has, has not looked good this season.

They've definitely struggled, right?

This is a team that most people thought would, you know,

between them and Edmonton would win the Pacific.

And, uh, there are four and six, you know, in their last 10 here, uh,

they've struggled mightily at times.

And, you know, I've been kind of leaking oil here, uh,

as if like, if what actually they've lost five out of the last six games,

and only win was a OT winner in Detroit here.

So it's been a while since this team has done anything.

And a lot of it comes down to the gold tending.

And again, we just talked about,

Benner was, was 100% available.

Again, I know this team like you're at some point that credit card comes

due and this team has been trading a lot of picks and stuff.

But you just wonder like was maybe that the move to try to short the gold tending

instead of maybe trying to add another defenseman here.

But, uh, yeah, just weird, weird, and then trying to add more like

bottom six guys, it feels like they're always cycling out bottom six guys.

I can't, they're never happy with what they have down there.

Yeah, just a weird team.

And this is what happens when you start just acquiring

so many star players, you don't aren't able to track and develop players

that can fill in the bottom six there that are talented and expensive.

Then you have to try to go and pay for it elsewhere.

And it usually costs you way more.

So yeah, there's a team that feels like it might be on ready for a reset

or something's got to happen here.

Yeah, I'm just checking their books on.

Yeah, yeah, I'm just, I'm checking their books on puckpedia and they have,

they have problems.

They have lots of problems.

They have projected less than four million dollars of

cat space code architecture with an active roster of 17 out of 23.

Yeah, I don't like protrangil will probably get put on

like a long term IR.

So there's some money there.

But like you're going to, like,

they're going to have to try to reset some standards.

And because that's the move that they always do right is they trade for the guy

and then they end up resigning them to a contract.

But you wonder if they try to ship us like what big contract

they're going to try to kind of get rid of or take out back and old yellow

or at some point.

So yeah, it's not good.

Tomas Hurtle.

Oh, Hurtle, yeah.

So it's probably William Carlson.

It's probably the guy that I think.

Why do I feel like it's going to be wild?

Yeah, I was just going to say wild Bill Carlson.

It's, yeah, it's Bill.

Why it's, yeah, one of the original missed it.

He's going to get taken out behind the Lexor and yeah.

It's not good, but I guess he is Joe Pesci.

He's Joe Pesci walking into the the side room being like, wait,

there's nobody else in here.

Do you know, Layla, do I hear Layla?

The flames though, who we just mentioned, I really liked their trade deadline.

Another team, I don't know why I just have affinity for teams who are sellers

and trying to better themselves than just kind of stick in the mud there.

And a team that added a bunch of assets at a bunch of pieces

at the deadline here where they are going to have all the draft picks in the world

when it comes to this draft.

They have two second round picks, sorry, two first round picks,

four second round picks, and then two third round picks.

This is a team, if you were a team in the 20s in the draft and you want to kind of move

back and recoup some value, this is a team I am calling constantly to see if they want to get

back into the first round and maybe you kind of package up some of those picks.

But another team right where if you want to, I think they want to kind of draft and develop

players, especially with their new arena opening up soon and they want to have some start players.

But still like you have all the assets in the world this year and you have already drafted

some great players like Zane Porek and I think they're going to be a position to draft another

great player this year as well. So you put yourself in position to make either some solid draft picks

or a swing to get somebody when another team falls out of the race.

Like you could, you could go ask the Florida Panthers about a guy named Matthew Kachak.

I think he would be a really good fit on the flames.

Oh wait there. Imagine like who would know for Kachak?

How that would look like crazy. But something like that.

Like having young players and prospects makes those types of trades attainable

to be able to pull yours because look, the point that I wanted to kind of make to piggyback off

of the Vegas conversation. What do we consider the threat teams in the Pacific right now?

Oh, it's mud. Like nobody sticks out. Like this whole division is absolute mud.

Like the fact that the sharks are like within three points of making a, not only like just making

the Wester, like the Waukart tube, but like they could be the, like there's a legitimate chance

of sharks to be the three seed in here if they get their stuff together at some point.

But yeah, like the ducks aren't running away with this. Vegas isn't running away. Edmonton is,

like their schedule is really hard right now. Like what it's surprising if Edmonton wins

the division even though they're third right now, just because like that's the team where you can

like point two and be like, okay, at least they have McDavid and Drys title and then they give

a night they could put up five goals on you. So like you can just point to their offense and their

power play as being different makers. But yeah, this whole division is mud. It's great.

Tyler is the NFC South of the NHL. You know, I don't even, I don't even have words for it.

And honestly, like I could see, I could see one of Vegas or Edmonton just collapsing under the

weight that they have put on themselves and just disappearing from the face of the earth.

Yeah, I mean, you can see it. You can see it. Yes, you can definitely see it. They can see all

things. Yeah, the goal-tending of both those teams is highly suspect. Oh, it's more than highly

suspect. It's it's Eiffel Tower suspect. It's from the top of the Eiffel Tower in the suspect

department. But three teams that are not suspects are the three teams at the top of the central

division because they continue to be three of the best teams in the league.

All of them all of them went to their local sporting goods store and bought shoulder pads, knee pads,

kevlar vests, brass knuckles. I'm just pictured like the Arnold Schwarzenegger like getting ready.

Yeah, like what he's just like, yeah, oh, yep, that's that was that's just the central.

Make no mistake about it. The central division is going to war. We will discuss the central

division as we finish today's episode of Lockdown NHL right after this.

College basketball is nonstop big games tight spreads momentum swings every single night

from early tip offs to late night west coast shootouts. There's always action on the board

and now fandals giving you way to turn that energy into an even bigger potential wins with a

fandall play your game.

So you don't miss out on any new episodes throughout the week. We actually covered

every Monday through Friday as part of the Lockdown podcast network. JD, let's talk central

because not only did you have Colorado sneaking Nazum Kadri in an hour after the trade deadline,

it was over your reaction as a wild fan when you like saw the tweet or whatever. However,

you got that just be like, were you very much like, how do they keep getting away with this when

you saw that? I was in the middle of recording an episode when it brought. And that was fun.

Yes. How do they keep getting away with this? Very much. Like that, that center of like making

it in. It was arguably one of the best players. Like one of the top three best players in the world

right now, right? Old man prock Nelson. Then you had Kadri as your three C like just ridiculous down

the middle. Yeah. Yeah. I was fun to not get a single center that could make an impact. But then

none of them were on the table. And none of them were realistically on the table. And the only

one that was the only place that he wanted to go was Colorado because he had been there before.

So fun. It's fair. Yeah. I did like at some point. I did like, I did like what the wild did

at the deadline, considering the options at their disposal. Bobby Brink, I think, is a nice little

burst of speed with also some of the toughness and tenacity that Bill Yearn really covets.

And then you go and you get Michael McCarran, who is, that's where I used the brass knuckles

analogy before. He is human brass knuckles. And he's just a good, he's a good net front guy.

He's already scored a goal for the Minnesota wild since he came into town. Not only that,

you go and you get Nick Felino, which I think was really a surprise as to his availability.

Um, and then you grab Jeff Petri as just another vet, just a solid vet. So when you were

crying about for months, they need to find another defense and they need to find. Yeah.

They listened to you said they listened to you. I said it for six weeks before the trade deadline

that they needed to find a shop blocking defenseman for little to nothing. And they did.

Yep. Um, so Bill Yearn amassed, he amassed a large amount of depth that is going to allow him

to not have to lean on his key players as much down the stretch, which means they're going to be

fresh going into the playoffs. They're going to likely be healthy going into the playoffs.

And you just roll with the center depth that got you to this point because I know people point

to the face off numbers and are like they can't keep winning games when they lose this many face

offs. They still find ways to do it. Is it magnified in the postseason? Sure. Sure. But it's,

I think face offs are very overrated. It's that anyway. I think it's key face offs and big time

moments, but like a face off in like the middle of the second period, you can, oh, yeah, you can

live with that. So, uh, yeah. And then Dallas, of course, they made a couple moves as well.

They get, uh, Michael Bunting, which is the oldest rookie ever, uh, remember the Michael Bunting

Calder thing when he was like 55, which break it into the NHL. Yeah. He had just, he had just started

drawing off of his pension. Yeah. And he was receiving votes for the Calder trophy. Yes. Uh,

Michael Bunting, which I think is a perfect fit, right? A team that trying to add a little bit more

scoring pop in their bottom six there. I think he's going to do that as well. Again, another team

looking to try to add a, just another defenseman and Tyler Myers here, uh, where again, and they,

they've dealt with some injuries on their blue line this year, just, uh, very tall. Uh, he,

Tyler Myers is actually, he's five foot eight, but then his neck gives him a neck.

So, yeah, but like he's like, he said he better and you can play him like on the third pair.

He's going to block shots. He's going to do all the little things type of for you. So, yeah,

this, this central is just an absolute murder machine meat grinder here. And you feel,

you know, you, you will legitimately feel bad for Minnesota Dallas here that your reward for

making the playoffs is cool. I get to play one of the, you know, one of the five best teams in

the NHL here. Like it's, it's, it's ridiculous. And then you look over the Pacific and it's like,

we get the sharks or maybe the ducks or like whatever else is going on or there's literally no

gold tender for Vegas or Edmonton. Like, okay, cool, man. You remember in return of the king when

all of the orcs started fighting each other and Sam and Frodo snuck through after they were all

dead? Yes, that's the end of Heimducks. That's the end of Heimducks. You're, yeah, going to the

Western conference. I tweeted out that there may be because of the, because of the players and

the type of players that have been amassed. There may be an actual fatality in Star's Wild Round

One. And whichever team, whichever team finds a way out, they're going to be, they're going to be

in rough shape. What if it's just Utah comes out of that side? I mean, it certainly could be.

Utah's only 12, they're only 22 back of, they're going to get the wildcard one, right? You're

going to play, right? You're going to play whoever wins the Pacific. Like only, they only need 22

points to catch the abs as far as first place goes. No, not even. If they're played on the Pacific,

side of the bracket, like, could Utah legitimately be the best team in the Pacific? I have routinely

said that Utah might be the fourth best team in the entire Western conference. Yeah, like there's

there's like a real, like if they beat Vegas or ended, like they beat Vegas or Edmonton in the

first round, like they could legitimately come me down. Yeah. And here's the funny thing too,

is watch it be, watch it be Utah getting swept in the first round. Yeah, inferior

Pacific team. The money Pacific. It'll end up being, it'll end up being Vegas by two points.

They'll finish the season with like 88 points. And be first place in the Pacific and then they'll

sweep. They'll beat Utah for nothing. Yeah, all of them like one goal games that like Utah,

yeah, like Utah very much chokes away this year. Is it? It'll be 76658787.

Yeah, something like that. So yeah. I hate it here.

We just go back to one through eight. Yeah, please.

Because right now, so what would that be? So that would be, oh, this is pretty much,

this is pretty much lined up. So as of right now, Colorado would be the one, Dallas the two,

Minnesota the three. It would be Utah the four. Anaheim would be the five. Vegas would be the six.

Edmonton the seven and Seattle the eight. So it would be wild Vegas again.

But you feel a lot better this time. Yeah, it'd be four to one instead of four to two.

For the wild. For the wild. Yeah, there were plenty of other teams that did.

Oh, Colorado. What sneaky we were really, really liked from Colorado was getting Nick Blakenberg.

Just again, super steady, like seventh offenseman for them. I think if he comes in and plays for

Colorado, he might set himself up for a nice contract with Southeast. Anyway, that's just

I forgot to mention him. Just I like Nick Blakenberg's game. And I think he could be a nice addition

for it to them. Anyway, also congratulations to the Washington capitals for just destroying team

morale. Just. Portivity, the illiterate just walking in like you walk in with like the pizza and

everything's on fire. Everybody everybody's just sitting quietly and you're like, hey, who died?

Yeah, that's not my fault. Yeah, portivity, lurch grid.

Unbelievable. Yeah, what a horrible way to find out you get traded. Yeah, that's tough.

Just like yours. Just to sleep on the phone call. Yeah, wake up. You up.

Get in the morning. Hey, John, it's Pat Verbeak. We just we just traded for you. And we're

trying to get some things figured out because we play a new game today. You up?

Can you can you get back to me here? We got to get this trade in so that it gets.

I'm going to need you to come and work on Saturday. I need you to do these TPS reports.
