There was anticipation that the Tricolore's general manager would make trades before, during, or after the draft, as well as before free agency opened, but no transactions have materialized yet.
Players like Martin Necas, Trevor Zegras, Patrik Laine, and even Kaapo Kakko have not changed teams yet. In summary, the NHL trade market is currently rather quiet.
This is often the case in the middle of July, but expect the market to pick up, with Kent Hughes paying close attention to potentially available players across the league.
