Avalanche acquire a defenseman

New York Islanders: The New York Islanders have traded RFA defenseman Devon Toews to the Colorado Avalanche for a 2021 and 2022 second-round pick.

Golden Knights send Schmidt to Canucks

Rick Dhaliwal: The Vancouver Canucks have traded a 2022 third-round pick to the Vegas Golden Knights for defenseman Nate Schmidt.

Cam Robinson: “Giving up a 3rd rounder two years out for a top 4 D is tremendous value. However, when that D is 29, making 5.9M for 5 more years and you’re helping a divisional rival out of a jam, it’s far less so.”

Scott Billeck: It’s possible that the Winnipeg Jets were talking to the Golden Knights about Schmidt but maybe they were a team on his 10-team no-trade list.

Eric Engels: “In case you’re not keeping track: Ryan Murray for a fifth-round pick, Paul Stastny for a conditional fourth and a 7-8 dman, and Nate Schmidt for a third-round pick. Quality players going for scraps–the pandemic’s effect on HRR and the cap.”
