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 goaltending market is now wide open 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 Stanley Cup winner in that trade. Los Angeles getting Vladislav Gavrikov and Edmonton acquiring Mattias Ekholm takes away two potential landing spots for Arizona defenseman Jakob Chychrun.
