In another NHL Trade Talk Recap (Jan. 13), it was a busy day for the site as it covered the news, trades, rumors, and general goings on in hockey. Today, NHL Trade Talk covered the Flames, Kraken, Oilers, Canucks, Senators, Red Wings, and Maple Leafs.

The players covered include Rory Kerins (who made his NHL debut today), J.T. Miller (who’s the subject of trade speculation), Leevi Meriläinen (a young Senators goalie who’s been amazing), Connor McDavid (say no more about the best player currently lacing up the skates), Rasmus Andersson (the Flames defenseman who it seems everyone wants on their team), Mitch Marner (who remembers games differently than his head coach – and others), and Jonathan Huberdeau (who’s having a solid rebound season).

Today’s topics ranged from trade rumors and team performance to individual player achievements and potential moves. We invite readers to look at some of the work our writers have produced. Enjoy.

With Linus Ullmark injured, youngster Leevi Meriläinen has stepped between the Senators’ pipes. He’s been sensational. He even won recent back-to-back games and stopped the Star’s seven-game winning streak. What happens in Ottawa if he continues to play lights out in the crease?
