The Professional Women’s Hockey League trade deadline is imminent, but the mood around the league is relatively calm. The NHL is usually rife with suspense, urgency and rumours of last-minute deals flying around as its annual deadline approaches.

The Professional Women’s Hockey League trade deadline is imminent, but the mood around the league is relatively calm.

Many GMs are using words like “quiet” and “manageable” to describe the trade chatter ahead of Monday’s 4 p.m. ET embargo and rate their chances of making a move at 50-50. They can’t trade picks during the first season and don't have a pool of up-and-coming players. Teams can hold up to three reserve players but don’t have minor league rosters to draw from.

Boston and Minnesota completed the first — and only — trade in league history Feb. 11 when Boston sent defender Sophie Jaques to Minnesota for Abby Cook and Susanna Tapani. “We'd be sending players halfway across the land here in Canada and the U.S., being the only team in the Midwest, so that would be a significant move across the country,” she said. “If you're going to do that to a player on a minimum salary that's super tough to do."
