With just over one week to go, here is our sixth Trade Targets board of 2023 – now up to 50 names in play, including a staggering 17 newcomers.

The Capitals made their first move ahead of the March 3 trade deadline, sending defenseman Dmitry Orlov and right wing Garnet Hathaway to the Boston Bruins in a three-team trade Thursday that netted them center Craig Smith and three draft picks.

Washington acquires a 2023 First-Round Pick, 2025 Second-Round Pick, 2024 Third-Round Pick, and Craig Smith in return.

The NHL-leading Boston Bruins have acquired defenseman Dmitry Orlov and forward Garnet Hathaway from the Washington Capitals, the latest big trade acquisition by an Eastern Conference contender.
