Lately, trade deadlines have been wild, with flurries of major deals that make analysts from TSN to TNT lose their minds. Nowhere has that been more evident than Raleigh, where in previous years trades for Mikko Rantanen (to and from Carolina) and Jake Guentzel. This year, just like the rest of the league, the action was more muted. In response, the trade deadline has been downgraded to a tropical storm.
