3 trades will be completed the moment game 7 ends
When the final horn goes to end Game 7, three trades and one bonus will be decided as the conditions of trades will be fulfilled.
The Stanley Cup will be presented in Sunrise, Florida, on Monday evening to the winner, the home team Florida Panthers, or the visiting Edmonton Oilers. Because of the series' current parity, a few crucial requirements will be satisfied, determining whether the Cup remains in South Florida or returns to Canada for the first time since 1993.
In order to improve their teams in preparation for lengthy playoff runs, Florida and Edmonton made a few deals before this year's deadline; as of right now, one team or the other has taken decisions that will have paid off in the end.
If Florida wins – The 2024 4th round pick sent to Ottawa in the Vladimir Tarasenko trade gets upgraded to a 2026 #rd round pick.
- The 2024 7th round pick Florida sent to Buffalo in the Kyle Okposo trade upgrades to a 2024 5th round pick
- Kyle Okposo will receive a $500k bonus for winning the Stanley Cup
- If Edmonton wins: - The 2025th round pick Edmonton sent to Anaheim upgrades to a 2025 4th round pick.
This season has been enjoyable regardless of what happens in game 7, and this week should be equally busy with the NHL Awards on June 27 and the NHL Draft on June 28 and 29. There will probably also be a parade and celebration in the city of the winning teams.
