The trade deadline during the 2010-11 NHL season was on February 28, 2011.
February 28 at 3 PM Eastern Standard Time.
The trade deadline is simply the date set by the NHL, or any league, beyond which no trades between teams can be made. For example, if the trade deadline was March 15, it means that after that date teams would not be able to trade players until after the season ended.
I understand that teams can start trading once the season has ended, but generally no trades are made until the playoffs are finished. I don't know if trades are officially forbidden during the playoffs or not, but they never happen during that period.
Trade rumors in the NHL get started at the end of March, just shortly before the very active closing of the trade deadline on the 3rd April every year.
The Coyotes traded for Brandon Prust at the trade deadline, then traded him back to Calgary in the off-season.

The trade deadline is a day set by the NHL each season, usually in late February or early March, for the teams in the league to make trades. Beyond this date no trades can be made by teams until the playoffs end in June.This is to prevent teams from loading their rosters with good players up to and during the playoffs in attempts to win the Stanley Cup.
A record of six NHL teams will be opening the 2010-2011 season in three different European cities.
