The 2026 NHL trade deadline is scheduled for March 6th at 3:00 PM ET. There is also the Olympic Roster freeze the runs from February 4 at 3:00 PM ET to February 22 at 11:59 PM ET, where no trades are permitted.
Teams will have to navigate two deadlines. Some teams will try to get a jump on the trade market and get deals done before the Olympics, while some teams who may have salary cap concerns will have to wait until the trade deadline. Some won’t want to pay someone $100,000 to vacation during the break.
There aren’t a lot of sellers at the moment, but that number is expected to rise closer to March 6th.
The New York Rangers have shut down Artemi Panarin and have said that he won’t play a game for them before the Olympic trade freeze. They don’t want to risk him getting injured before he’s traded.
