The Jets were adding offensive pieces ahead of the trade deadline by adding Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli but added defensive depth as well with the acquisition of Colin Miller. Miller is an impending unrestricted free agent with a $1.85 million AAV. He has seven points (3G / 4A), 72 hits, and 31 blocks in 40 games this season.
The Maple Leafs acquired additional depth for their bottom-six forward group by acquiring Dewar before the trade deadline. The 24-year-old Dewar is an impending restricted free agent and has 14 points (10G / 4A) in 57 games this season.
Dumba is an impending unrestricted free agent with a $3.9 million AAV. The 29-year-old defenseman has seen his offensive production steadily decline over the years but still provides defensive depth for Tampa Bay. In 58 games this season, Dumba has 10 points (4G / 6A), 148 hits, and 84 blocks.
Zboril has spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign, posting nine points (0G / 9A) in 31 games with the Providence Bruins (AHL). The 27-year-old defenseman is an impending unrestricted free agent.
After playing 162 combined games with the Columbus Blue Jackets over the last two seasons, Peeke has been limited to only 23 in the 2023-24 campaign. Peeke has two years remaining on his contract with a $2.75 million AAV.
The Flyers have replenished some defensive depth by acquiring Johnson after trading Sean Walker to the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. Johnson has been out of the lineup since February 27th due to an undisclosed injury. The veteran defender has only three points (3G / 0A) in 50 games this season and has been held off the scoresheet in 16 straight.
Allison played 60 games with the Philadelphia Flyers last season, tallying 15 points (6G / 9A), but has spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. The 26-year-old Allison has 17 points (10G / 17A) in 46 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms this season.
Gurianov began the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL with the Milwaukee Admiral, scoring an impressive 30 points (12G / 18A) in 27 games. He was called up to the Predators mid-season and struggled to translate his skills to the NHL level, as has been the case throughout his career, scoring only two points (1G / 1A) in 14 games.
Speculation about the Devils acquiring a goalie all season was finally validated on Friday when they acquired Allen from the Montreal Canadiens for a conditional third-round pick that can become a second-round pick depending on games played. Allen is currently sporting a .892 SV% and a career-worst 3.65 GAA through 21 games this season (6-12-3).
Simek has been an NHL regular with the San Jose Sharks since the 2018-19 season but has spent the entirety of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. In 40 games with the San Jose Barracuda, he has 16 points (4G / 12A) and 29 penalty minutes.
Kostin was in and out of the lineup for the Detroit Red Wings this season, being a healthy scratch for most of the last month. The 24-year-old Kostin has four points (3G / 1A) in 33 games this season.
Petan is no stranger to the NHL, with 170 career games, but was limited to only six contests with the Minnesota Wild this season. The 28-year-old Petan has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, scoring an impressive 40 points (12G / 28A) in 44 games with the Iowa Wild.

Zucker adds some offensive depth to a Predators club that already added Anthony Beauvillier to their roster via trade on Thursday. The 32-year-old Zucker has 25 points (9G / 16A), 104 shots, and 74 hits in 51 games and will likely be a fixture in the Predators middle-six down the stretch.
Maroon has not played since January 27th after undergoing back surgery but should return to action in two to three weeks. The 35-year-old Maroon has 12 points (4G / 12A), 54 shots, 71 hits, and 60 penalty minutes in 49 games this season.
Toffoli joined the New Jersey Devils in the offseason and was off to a blistering start, scoring 21 points (12G / 9A) in his first 21 games before slowing down to a more modest 23 points (14G / 9A) in his 40 subsequent games. Nevertheless, Toffoli adds a significant boost to the offensive depth of a Jets team that has already bolstered their lineup by adding Sean Monahan several weeks ago.
The Rangers have added some defensive depth to their blueline with the acquisition of Ruhwedel from the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 33-year-old Ruhwedel is averaging only 12:33 time-on-ice this season, his lowest total in 10 seasons, and has four points (1G / 3A), 73 hits, and 36 blocks in 47 games.
Meyers is an undrafted 25-year-old who has played 53 career NHL games, all with the Colorado Avalanche, including nine this season. Most of his 2023-24 campaign has been spent with the Colorado Eagles (AHL), where he has 25 points (11G / 14A) in 32 games.
