The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a second buzzer-beater trade, this time sending Scott Laughton to the Los Angeles Kings . It's a curious move by the Kings, who are out of the playoff picture right now and, after losing Kevin Fiala for the season, are acquiring a pending unrestricted free agent in Laughton. The return is a third-round pick that could become a second-rounder if the Kings make the playoffs. 3rd rounder https://t.co/iJMyjX9yT1 — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 6, 2026 ROS...

His captain laid into him for his lack of action after last year's trade deadline, so it was utterly imperative on Steve Yzerman to make a big move for his blossoming Detroit Red Wings this year. There was really no excuse not to. And finally, at the 11th hour (or really, the very last minute) of this trade deadline, the Wings have finally made a splash, landing Justin Faulk from the St. Louis Blues. Sounds like it's happening. #stlblues https://t.co/NoliNGLW4i — Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherfo...
