In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Florida Panthers and New York Rangers are scheduled to play each other. Numerous NHL clubs will be impacted by the outcome of the trade deadline as both teams made significant deals with stipulations to bolster their lineups.
If the Florida Panthers advance far in the Stanley Cup Finals, they may have to give up more first-round selections than expected to clubs like the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ottawa Senators, and Buffalo Sabres.
As these deals approach completion, the participating teams anticipate a variety of results. The teams who gave away their players probably want the other team to succeed so they may acquire a better draft selection. If Jack Roslovic and the Rangers are an example, we may see him scratched more frequently such that his percentage of games played falls below 50%.
