Nearly a dozen trades were completed around the NHL on Tuesday. But the deadline is still a couple of days away. Some of those moves have set the table for more action around the league. The domino effect continued with defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado acquiring center Lars Eller from Washington. The goaltending market also opened after the LA Kings got Joonas Korpisalo from the Blue Jackets. Columbus could now flip Jonathan Quick to a contender after getting the two-time Cup winner in that trade.
