Multiple NHL teams completed trades this week that moved established forwards between clubs. One deal sent a forward from Utah to another organization after the player posted lower offensive totals than in a prior season. The acquiring team received the player while the original club gained salary-cap flexibility.
roster planning The team that moved the forward now holds more than $21 million in projected cap space. Officials said the space could be used to pursue additional top-six wing options. A separate transaction sent a forward from Colorado to Columbus in exchange for three future draft picks.
Columbus officials cited the need for added depth scoring after finishing 19th in goals per game last season.
