There was momentum on J.T. Miller getting traded to the New York Rangers on Saturday, but the deal collapsed per NHL insider Elliotte Friedman. Miller was supposedly being held out of Saturday night's game against the Edmonton Oilers while some AHL players in the Rangers organization were scratched.

Well, this one caught everyone by surprise. As first reported by Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli, the Carolina Hurricanes acquired forward Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche in a three-team deal that also saw the Canes acquire Taylor Hall from the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday afternoon.
