Happy trade deadline day!
Sorry for the late FTB, but I was up all night with giddy anticipation of today.
It's the final few hours that GMs can tinker with their teams to get that magic roster that will win them a cup.
The deadline to file trades is 3PM, but we know the small ones will continue to trickle out for a bit afterwards.
Big names are expected to move today, like Ryan O'Rielly, Vladimir Tarasenko, Patrick Kane, and Jakob Chychrun.
....huh.
Well, I'm sure there will be something big today. Probably.
Let's just run down the big Leafs moves so far.

And lots more. So many more it will take forever to link to them but they're big!
So, what's left for today? Depth moves, mostly. Some teams will finally admit to being sellers. Some will be in denial and buy (Canucks).
But what will definitely happen is Sportsnet and TSN will for sure have to find ways to fill time.
Like this.
This was going to debut on #TradeCentre, but since the GMs couldn’t wait, neither will we...
