Hey, wait. Nice number.

PWHL Toronto won their game in Pittsburgh and good Compher got to catch up with bad Compher (actually, he's okay). Toronto extended their streak to 10 wins, and they are back in first place.

Today is the PWHL trade deadline, but there isn't a lot of expectation of heavy action. New York seems out of contention – although they are far from eliminated. But the second non-playoff team could easily be Boston or Ottawa, and one of the more dominant top three could suffer a fall in the final 7-8 games left. Three-point wins add up fast. No one is really positioned to want to sell off players.

PWHL teams can't trade picks at this point, so the only trades will be player trades. It seems unlikely big deals will happen.
