Monday's FTB: Trades already

The Capitals acquire AHL goalie Remi Poirier from New Jersey after trading a pick for the Devils' waiver claim, adding him as a third netminder while they await Connor Hellebuyck. Poirier hasn’t played yet and may sit on waivers as insurance. Meanwhile, Red Wings AGM Kris Draper’s presence at Capitals games fuels trade speculation, and Dylan Larkin lists Washington as a possible destination. In the trade market, Nashville sends Matthew Wood to Seattle for former first-rounder Shane Wright, both still unproven at the NHL level. League-wide stats show goals per game at 3.15—the highest since the early ’90s—while save percentage drops to .891, the lowest since 1989‑90, suggesting a tricky start for goaltenders. The Leafs’ five‑on‑five play remains underwhelming as the season settles.

Elliotte Friedman notes he could drop teams like Vegas and Florida and add new suitors such as the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres or New York Rangers.

The move adds a future draft asset as the Devils, now 9‑5 with 18 points, chase a playoff spot.
