TIER 1: Obvious trade candidates<\/p>\n
Blake Coleman, LW, Calgary Flames<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 He\u2019s a proven two-time Stanley Cup winner who can deliver 20 goals, occasionally more, while assisting on the penalty kill and playing a feisty, physical game. What contender wouldn\u2019t want him for third-line and PK1 work? The Flames could always sit on him a year and move him as a rental next season, but the demand for his services should be sufficient this year. We should keep an eye on his one of his former teams, the Tampa Bay Lightning.\u00a0The Athletic\u2019s Pierre LeBrun floated that idea<\/a>.<\/p>\n Robert Thomas, C,\u00a0St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 26 Thomas\u2019 name is out there in the trade rumor mill, we know, but it would take quite an offer to pry St. Louis\u2019 No. 1 center away. Over the past three seasons, he\u2019s third in assists per 60 at 5-on-5 league-wide. He\u2019s 26 and in his prime. The Blues would want to trade him why, exactly? Still, the noise won\u2019t go away. His list of suitors is huge because he doesn\u2019t only appeal to an all-in contender; a rising team hoping for years of sustained success should be just as interested given he\u2019s under contract for another half decade.<\/p>\n Vincent Trocheck, C,\u00a0New York Rangers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 32 The Blueshirts aren\u2019t obligated to move Trocheck the way they were the expiring Artemi Panarin, but it wouldn\u2019t be the worst idea to explore a trade now while Trocheck\u2019s value remains high. With his mix of scoring ability, agitation tactics, physicality and faceoff acumen, he\u2019d be a dream No. 2 center for almost any contender. The Wild and Hurricanes, in particular, would be ideal landing spots for his services.<\/p>\n Nazem Kadri, C,\u00a0Calgary Flames<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 35 The classic conundrum for Flames GM Craig Conroy: even if you\u2019re in the midst of a rebuild and have already traded most of your core over the past couple seasons\u2026don\u2019t you need a few veteran tone setters to hang around and teach the kids how to win? That would be a reason to hold Kadri. But he could also command a significant return given his impact as a scorer and emotional leader. Would the Wild be the most logical place for Kadri to land?\u00a0They have interest, reports Di Marco<\/a>. Dallas could be a strong fit as well now that they\u2019ve moved Tyler Seguin\u2019s full $9.85 million to season-ending LTIR.<\/p>\n Dougie Hamilton, D,\u00a0New Jersey Devils<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 32 Hamilton\u2019s no-movement clause softened to a 10-team trade list beginning with this season. He\u2019ll always have his knuckle-draggin\u2019 haters as a player with lackadaisical body language, but he\u2019s perennially a strong play-driving defenseman, and his scoring rebounded massively in January with 13 points in 14 games. Not that he\u2019s on this board for his perceived external trade value per se; it\u2019s more that the Devils would like to offload his hefty cap hit to clear space. Hamilton\u2019s camp has expressed a willingness to expand his 10-team trade list in hopes of finding him a new home, so a trade feels inevitable,\u00a0albeit it won\u2019t be the easiest to work out given his AAV<\/a>. The playoff salary cap and double-salary-retention crackdown will make pricier players harder to move at the deadline<\/a> this year, don\u2019t forget. <\/p>\n Brayden Schenn, C,\u00a0St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 Schenn is not a $6.5-million player anymore. The Blues would almost certainly need to retain salary to facilitate a trade, especially since he has a couple years of term left. But Schenn at a discounted price could still boost a team\u2019s third line and bring brawny veteran leadership.<\/p>\n Justin Faulk, D,\u00a0St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 33 Faulk plays 22 minutes a night in his sleep. He\u2019s still plenty mobile for his age. He\u2019s one of the game\u2019s more prolific shot blockers. He chips in a healthy amount of goals from the point, and he\u2019s a right shot. So, yeah, he\u2019ll have plenty of suitors. Faulk offers the extra year of term as a \u2018luxury rental\u2019 to boot.<\/p>\n Rasmus Ristolainen, D,\u00a0Philadelphia Flyers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 The Flyers have tumbled far enough in the Eastern Conference playoff race that the decision to sell feels easier for GM Danny Briere now. Ristolainen started his season late due to injury and battled another before the Olympics, but his strong showing in Finland\u2019s top four has piqued interest around the league. Roughly half a dozen teams are kicking the tires<\/a> on the big, physical righty, reports Di Marco.<\/p>\n Ryan Hartman, C,\u00a0Minnesota Wild<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 Ideally, a team acquiring Hartman uses him as a third-line center, not a second-liner, but the agitator has succeeded in the past playing as high as the first line, though he doesn\u2019t seem to have the upside he once did. The Wild don\u2019t appear to be done after landing Quinn Hughes. They want to upgrade at center next but may need to dump Hartman\u2019s cap hit first and have been dangling him,\u00a0reported Pagnotta on Daily Faceoff Live earlier this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bobby McMann, LW,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 I can understand if some Leaf fans feel trepidation over the idea of cashing out McMann. A tenacious, late-blooming left winger going to market at the end of his 20s sounds a lot like Zach Hyman. But Hyman\u2019s career trajectory is the exception, not the norm. McMann is likely close to his peak value and could return a second- or even first-round pick given his unique size\/speed package and dirt-cheap AAV.<\/p>\n Jordan Binnington, G, St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 32 Armstrong would\u2019ve made things awkward if he\u2019d dealt Binnington before relying on him as Canada\u2019s Olympic starter. But with Milan behind us and Binnington having delivered a good if imperfect performance in goal, the time is right to explore a deal. Binnington showed enough at the Winter Games to remind us he can be an asset on the right team given his puckhandling and clutch-save ability; but is there enough of a market for him right now? The Oilers, Canadiens and Hurricanes feel like the teams to watch.<\/p>\n Shane Wright, C,\u00a0Seattle Kraken<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 22 The Kraken are seemingly searching for a splashy add to their top-six forward group and potentially willing to sacrifice Wright to do so,\u00a0Pagnotta reported on\u00a0The DFO Rundown <\/a>in January. Wright would be a fascinating buy; he still has another year left at his entry-level AAV after this one, and he has proven to be an efficient scorer in his (extremely) limited opportunities, averaging 19 goals per 82 games for his career despite playing only 13:43 per night.<\/p>\n Ryan O\u2019Reilly, C,\u00a0Nashville Predators<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 It was jarring to see O\u2019Reilly mercilessly trash his own play in a post-game scrum a few months back. The last time he spoke like that, he was on his way out of Buffalo, and he makes too much sense as a popular trade target given he\u2019s a Conn Smythe Trophy winner and brainy two-way center who plays a clean shutdown game. He still has enough gas left in him to bolster a contender\u2019s middle six. He\u2019s quietly scoring at a career-best pace, just below a point per game.<\/p>\n Logan Stanley, D,\u00a0Winnipeg Jets<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 27 Stanley is still young enough to be part of Winnipeg\u2019s present and future. But with his blend of size and snarl, he could be quite a sought-after commodity, the type that could net something pretty shiny in a trade.\u00a0Winnipeg Sports Talk\u2019s\u00a0Michael Remis appeared on DFO Live in January and\u00a0theorized that Stanley could net Winnipeg a high pick<\/a>.<\/p>\n Evander Kane, LW,\u00a0Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 The local-boy-returns-home story was neat, but Kane is an expiring, declining asset on a sinking ship. He won\u2019t be a frontline player again at this stage of his career, but could a veteran contender with a strong dressing-room culture find a spot for him as a bottom-six shift disturber who can still chip in the odd goal? I think yes, if Vancouver retains half his salary.<\/p>\n Patrik Laine, RW,\u00a0Montreal Canadiens<\/a><\/p>\n Age:\u00a027 Laine has missed all but five games this season and sat out the Olympics with an abdominal issue. But here\u2019s where the playoff salary cap really makes things interesting. Laine is set to return before the season is up, and the Habs don\u2019t have much cap space to make any additional moves with him in the lineup. They need to offload his $8.7 million if they want to add any important pieces by the Trade Deadline. Laine partially controls where he goes thanks to his 10-team no-trade list, but maybe he\u2019d be happy landing somewhere he could enjoy a larger role. He could boost someone\u2019s power play as a sniper for rent. How about plugging the Kevin Fiala hole in L.A.?<\/p>\n Simon Benoit, D,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 27 Benoit is your classic rugged depth defenseman who intimidates with his open-ice hitting and protects his net with his shot blocking. He carries a reasonable contract that extends through next season. With the Leafs not in the playoff picture, he\u2019d be a logical piece to cash out for high mid-round pick.<\/p>\n Elias Pettersson, C,\u00a0Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 27 Pettersson doesn\u2019t get enough credit for his all-around play, but, yes, he\u2019s nowhere close to an $11.6-million player right now.\u00a0That\u2019s a monstrous cap hit to navigate, especially with the playoff salary cap in place now. Still, the Rantanen trade(s) last season have established that anything can happen. Pettersson is still young enough to reassert himself as a star\u00a0if he finds the right situation<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jonathan Marchessault, RW,\u00a0Nashville Predators<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 35 If you\u2019re shopping in Music City, Conn Smythe winners apparently do grow on trees? Marchessault is another. But he\u2019s a much more difficult player to appraise compared to O\u2019Reilly. Is Marchessault worth taking on for three more seasons after this one? Was his 42-goal season at 33 years old an extreme outlier a couple seasons back? Given his competitiveness and playoff success, he\u2019d still be a pretty nice depth add if Nashville retained some money.<\/p>\n Pavel Mintyukov, D,\u00a0Anaheim Ducks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 22 After multiple healthy scratches this season, Mintyukov is open to being moved if it means he\u2019ll get a larger opportunity elsewhere,\u00a0Friedman reported<\/a>\u00a0earlier this season. Mintyukov was the 10th\u00a0overall pick in the 2022 Draft and still has a do-it-all skill set, but he\u2019s been passed on the Ducks\u2019 depth chart by dynamic young D-men such as Jackson LaCombe and Olen Zellweger. Mintyukov\u2019s potential hasn\u2019t gone anywhere after just 186 career games. He makes a helluva buy-low on a franchise looking to retool.<\/p>\n Teddy Blueger, C,\u00a0Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 Blueger has played just 13 games this season and finally returned from his lower-body injury last month, just in time to boost his trade value. Strong on draws and a penalty-kill fixture, he\u2019s a prototypical fourth-line pivot.<\/p>\n Luke Schenn, D,\u00a0Winnipeg Jets<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 36 Looks like we\u2019re doing this again. Schenn is slowing down at 36, only logging 13:44 a night for the disappointing Jets, but his brute strength, nasty streak and dressing-room leadership will always make him attractive to a contender when, as the saying goes, there\u2019s no such thing as too many defensemen during the playoffs. Schenn has played for nine teams in his 18-season career; will he add a 10th\u00a0or rejoin a club he played for previously?<\/p>\n Scott Laughton, C,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 Oh, the cruel irony. As a Trade Deadline acquisition for a buyer version of the Leafs a year ago, Laughton never looked comfortable or confident and seemed to press. This season, he seems more like himself and has become a much louder dressing room voice\u2026just in time for the Leafs to plummet out of a playoff position as his contract expires. He\u2019s expressed interest in re-signing but would attract plenty of contenders seeking center help for their bottom sixes.<\/p>\n Erik Haula, C, Nashville Predators<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 The versatile Haula owns a career faceoff percentage north of 52 percent, he kills penalties and, as he flashed against Canada during the Olympic semifinal, Haula still has some wheels and (pun intended) finish to his game. He\u2019s centering Nashville\u2019s second line at the moment but would play in a true contender\u2019s bottom six.<\/p>\n Brad Lambert, C,\u00a0Winnipeg Jets<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 22 As insider Frank Seravalli reported\u00a0<\/a>earlier this season, Lambert has been granted permission to seek a trade. Even during his draft year, he carried boom-bust status as a clearly gifted but volatile talent, and he\u2019s skewed more toward the bust side, struggling to break through and earn a large opportunity at the NHL level. Still, he\u2019s young enough and skilled enough that perhaps he\u2019d blossom on a team willing to play him more. An interesting reclamation project.<\/p>\n Michael Bunting, LW,\u00a0Nashville Predators<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 30 Bunting\u2019s 10-team no-trade list disappeared after last season,\u00a0so he\u2019s a clear trade candidate<\/a>\u00a0playing on an expiring deal. Throughout his career, he\u2019s shown the ability to produce in spurts when paired with high-end linemates. His agitation skills can also shift momentum in playoff series if he stays on the right side of the line, which isn\u2019t always a guarantee. Bunting\u2019s value isn\u2019t nearly what it was a couple years back, but he could still be a sneaky-helpful depth addition.<\/p>\n Lukas Reichel, LW,\u00a0Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 23 The Canucks acquired<\/a>\u00a0Reichel from the Chicago Blackhawks in October, and the Canucks made him available for a trade by November. He\u2019s running out of chances to translate his speed and skill into NHL production. Prospects of this ilk are common: your skill set only works on a scoring line, and if there are no opportunities there, your skill set doesn\u2019t work on a depth line. It\u2019s difficult for players like that to find homes at the NHL level. He passed through waivers unclaimed in December, which gives you a sense of how he\u2019s valued around the league at the moment. He did arguably increase his worth with his two-goal showing for Germany<\/a> at the Olympics, however.<\/p>\n Emil Andrae, D,\u00a0Philadelphia Flyers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 24 Even though his under-the-hood numbers were strong last season, the undersized Andrae hasn\u2019t won over the Flyers brass,\u00a0per Di Marco<\/a>, and doesn\u2019t appear to be part of their long-term plans. His play driving continues to be better than the eye test, so he could actually be a low-key steal of an acquisition for a team that knows how to deploy him.<\/p>\n Nicolas Roy, C, Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Stanley Cup pedigree, 6-foot-4 frame, strong defensive makeup as a third-line center, affordable cap hit, extra year of term. Why aren\u2019t we talking more about Roy as an obvious piece for the Leafs to move if they decide to retool? He could fetch an early-round pick.<\/p>\n Mathieu Joseph, RW,\u00a0St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 The Blues\u00a0remain open for business<\/a>. And while they have multiple higher-end assets potentially available, plenty of teams can use fast, feisty checking forwards like the 2020-21 Stanley Cup winner Joseph and can likely get him for a mid- to late-round pick.<\/p>\n Oskar Sundqvist, C,\u00a0St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 See above re: Joseph, but as a bonus, fellow checker Sundqvist is a\u00a0two-time Stanley Cup winner with a heavy game at 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds.<\/p>\n Jesperi Kotkaniemi, C,\u00a0Carolina Hurricanes<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 25 It\u2019s easy to forget Kotkaniemi is still somehow just 25; he was the NHL\u2019s youngest player when the Montreal Canadiens rushed him into duty straight out of the Draft in 2018-19. Perhaps that\u2019s why he\u2019s never realized his potential and never really settled in as a scorer or checker. Now truly an afterthought, he\u2019s dressed for just 36 games this season, though some of his absences were due to an ankle injury. He averages a career low 10:59 of ice time per game. He\u2019s a classic \u201cfresh start\u201d candidate, and,\u00a0as Friedman reported last month<\/a>, the Canes are fielding offers for him. Maybe he\u2019d thrive with a larger opportunity elsewhere.<\/p>\n Brandon Carlo, D,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Mike Komisarek 2.0? Carlo was big, physically imposing, heavy on opposing forwards\u2026until he became a Maple Leaf, apparently. He\u2019s a shell of his old self. He averaged 4.66 hits per 60 in nine seasons as a Boston Bruin. As a Leaf: 3.41, including 3.07 this season. Maybe that\u2019s because he wasn\u2019t healthy, dealing with a foot injury that required surgery after a setback. Or maybe Carlo isn\u2019t cut out for the market. Still just 29, he could return to form in the right situation, and his AAV remains a bargain. He seemingly fit a need for the Leafs a year ago, but now they\u2019re big, slow and redundant on \u2018D.\u2019 They won\u2019t get the equivalent of Fraser Minten and a first-round pick for Carlo, but maybe they can recoup the pick portion of that package somewhere.<\/p>\n Ilya Mikheyev, LW,\u00a0Chicago Blackhawks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 Every playoff team needs depth players just like Mikheyev. He can kill penalties, he\u2019s strong on the wall, he\u2019s reasonably big and he can chip in the odd goal. The question becomes: do the Hawks have to re-sign\u00a0some\u00a0of their veterans? They can\u2019t churn them all into picks if they want to build a winning team around Connor Bedard.<\/p>\n David Kampf, C, Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 Kampf walked away from guaranteed money to earn his freedom from the Leafs in the form of a contract termination. He wanted to escape an AHL demotion and re-establish himself as an NHL player. He\u2019s done so in Vancouver, forced all the way up to the top line at one point. With his size and faceoff ability, he could attract interest, though purely as fourth-line center fodder.<\/p>\n Gustav Nyquist, RW,\u00a0Winnipeg Jets<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 36 Nyquist will never again match his shocking 75-point campaign of two years ago with Nashville. But he\u2019s a respected pro whose conscientious attitude rubs off on young players, and he might have one more spark of offense in him if placed in the right role. He should come cheap given his age.<\/p>\n Calle Jarnkrok, RW,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 He\u2019s just a fourth-liner at this stage of his career, but he can dutifully play a checking role, and his simple hustle makes coaches happy. The Leafs may as well try to get something for him.<\/p>\n Ryan Lomberg, LW,\u00a0Calgary Flames<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 Lomberg plays bigger than his 5-foot-9, 184-pound frame. He\u2019s a physical, energetic forward who can alter momentum with a hit-happy shift. He\u2019s also a proven Stanley Cup cog, having dressed for eight games during Florida\u2019s 2023-24 run. The winning pedigree and jam in his game should have some contenders sniffing around him.<\/p>\n Nick Foligno, C,\u00a0Chicago Blackhawks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 38 Think Kyle Okposo in 2023-24. Foligno is almost at the end of the line, but perhaps a contender would pick him up as a legendarily great dressing-room presence in hopes of getting him a ring. He has no official movement restrictions on his contract, but he took a leave of absence earlier this season to be with his daughter who had heart surgery, so he obviously would only be traded if he really wanted to go. Based on his recent comments<\/a>, he seems pretty open to the idea.<\/p>\n Oliver Ekman-Larsson, D,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 How \u201cover\u201d is it for the Treliving-era Leafs? If it\u2019s \u201cretool and reload,\u201d you retain \u2018OEL,\u2019 who has two years left at an excellent price and has become a crucially malleable member of the D-corps. But if it\u2019s \u201cscorched earth\u201d over, the Leafs would be wise to sell high given Ekman-Larsson has reached his mid-30s. He could fetch a nice return with his two extra years of term.<\/p>\n Drew O\u2019Connor, LW, Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 27 O\u2019Connor is young enough to be in his prime and carry trade value as a middle-six forward who can pop in north of 15 goals a year, but he\u2019s old enough that the Canucks would be wise to sell high given they won\u2019t be competitive again until his prime years are complete. He\u2019d also be a much easier piece to deal than Vancouver\u2019s collection of forwards with a ton of term left. No wonder there\u2019s interest, as Pagnotta reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n Matthew Poitras, C, Boston Bruins<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 21 The Bruins have reloaded as a playoff threat after missing last season. It would be foolish for them to assume they\u2019re a major Cup contender and sell off their top-tier prospects, but a lower-ceiling youngster like Poitras is in play, reports Pagnotta<\/a>. Poitras best-case scenario would be topping out as more of a hardworking middle-sixer, and Fraser Minten has leapfrogged him for that role long term, meaning Poitras is an expendable piece Boston could use to procure some immediate help.<\/p>\n Cody Glass, C, New Jersey Devils<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 26 Unlike a lot of checking-line centers on the market, Glass, a former high-end prospect, comes with some upside. He wins faceoffs and kills penalties and defends well, but he also has 14 goals in 49 games and is under contract at a reasonable AAV for an extra year. He represents the conundrum of, \u201cIsn\u2019t this a guy we should keep around?\u201d vs. \u201cHe could fetch us a sneaky-nice trade return.\u201d<\/p>\n Nick Bjugstad, C, New Jersey Devils<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 33 The Devils traded for big, rangy veteran Bjugstad last month but were still playoff hopefuls at the time. The dream is dead for 2025-26, and Bjugstad could be a casualty if they traded some depth forwards. Given his age, though, his extra year of term is more bug than feature, the opposite of Glass\u2019 situation.<\/p>\n Trevor van Riemsdyk, D, Washington Capitals<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 According to Seravalli, the Capitals are likely to move on from \u2018TVR\u2019 after this season<\/a> to clear room for prospect Cole Hutson on the left side of their blueline. Given the Caps aren\u2019t a lock to make the playoffs and that van Riemsdyk isn\u2019t a make-or-break part of their playoff push playing 15 minutes a night, it could make sense to sell him off rather than lose him for nothing.<\/p>\n Anthony Duclair, LW, New York Islanders<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 30 Two more seasons? At $3.5 million? A full no-trade clause? The final days of Lou Lamoriello were somethin.\u2019 Given Duclair has been a healthy scratch at times this season after being thrown under the bus last season by coach Patrick Roy, it makes sense that the Isles want to move on and that Duclair would be a realistic candidate to waive his NTC. Even at 30, his speed still places him in the NHL\u2019s 74th percentile per NHL EDGE data, so he has appeal if someone out there needs scoring depth.<\/p>\n A.J. Greer, LW, Florida Panthers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Greer can really mix it up. He brings a heavy game at 6-foot-3 and 207 pounds, he can rile up opponents, and he\u2019s not a zero offensively, with a career-best 11 goals this season and four straight campaigns with at least five goals. He would be a logical piece for the Panthers to sell off given their perilous position in the playoff race.<\/p>\n Tomas Nosek, C, Florida Panthers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 33 He returned from his knee injury to make his season debut this week\u2026just in time to showcase his trade value, perhaps? He\u2019s proven fourth-line pivot with strong faceoff skills and a Stanley Cup ring. Pretty much any contender could use a player like that.<\/p>\n Evgenii Dadonov, RW, New Jersey Devils<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 36 Dadonov is a versatile piece whom you can plug anywhere in a lineup in a pinch and earned a lot of playoff experience as part of three consecutive Conference Final runs with the Dallas Stars before joining the Devils. Contenders need players who can create offense even lower down the lineup, and Dadonov fits that description in theory. He\u2019s been a zero this season \u2013\u00a0as in, no points in 17 games somehow \u2013\u00a0so you\u2019re betting on track record if you acquire him for next to nothing.<\/p>\n Tyson Jost, C, Nashville Predators<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 27 He logs a minimal fourth-line energy role even on a mediocre Preds team. But he\u2019s an NHL player, a warm body for a team needing depth, which carries a modicum of value.<\/p>\n Andrew Mangiapane, LW,\u00a0Edmonton Oilers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 It just hasn\u2019t worked in Edmonton. He\u2019s scored seven times in 52 games, mostly buried on the fourth line. He expressed anger over the healthy scratches, and his agent has been granted permission to find a trade for him. Maybe a new environment energizes Mangiapane, but his trade value isn\u2019t exactly high right now, as evidenced by the fact he cleared waivers Monday.<\/p>\n TIER 2: Names to keep an eye on<\/p>\n Sergei Bobrovsky, G, Florida Panthers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 37 If we play along: The Panthers are barely alive in the East Wildcard race and, with captain Aleksander Barkov still out with his torn ACL and MCL, may be wise to cut their losses on 2025-26 and come back stronger next season. LeBrun suggests the Panthers are \u201clistening\u201d <\/a>on their future Hall of Fame goaltender. Heck, given their evil genius salary-cap management, would it surprise anyone to see \u2018Bob\u2019 re-sign in the summer after Florida traded him? He\u2019s enough of a difference maker that even teams who qualify as \u201cfine\u201d in net might trip over themselves to make offers. On the other hand: Bobrovsky still has the power to veto half the league as potential landing spots and, having won back to back Stanley Cups and played in three straight Finals, might not be motivated to chase another championship at the cost of uprooting his life. Unless he\u2019s already planning to leave as a UFA, that is.<\/p>\n Claude Giroux, RW, Ottawa Senators<\/p>\n Age: 38 Giroux calls Ottawa his offseason home and thus has a comfortable situation there, hence the team-friendly cap hit. But he\u2019s also in season 19 of a Hall-of-Very-Good career and doesn\u2019t have that Stanley Cup. With the Sens\u2019 playoff outlook shaky, would Giroux be up for joining a contender? He could be an asset for faceoffs, scoring depth and maybe a second power-play unit.<\/p>\n Charlie Coyle, C,\u00a0Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 34 Coyle has been a revelation for Columbus this season, one of the league\u2019s top defensive forwards. The Jackets have clawed their way back into the playoff hunt yet remain outside the picture, so GM Don Waddell has some tough decisions to make. Coyle\u2019s size, 100-plus games of playoff experience and penalty-killing ability scream \u201cthird-line center on Cup contender.\u201d How about that\u00a0three-team\u00a0no-trade list, eh? He must really hate those teams.<\/p>\n Jordan Kyrou, RW, St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 27 Kyrou\u2019s a first-line talent with three 30-goal campaigns to his name. But he\u2019s been a disaster this year, an $8.125-million healthy scratch at one point, and it sure feels like he could use a reset on a new team. Note that he controls his destiny via a full no-trade clause that doesn\u2019t become a modified no-trade until the final season of his deal.<\/p>\n Sam Montembeault, G,\u00a0Montreal Canadiens<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Yes, he was always keeping the seat warm for Jacob Fowler, but we all thought Montembeault had a lot more time, right? His game went in the toilet this season, costing him an Olympic roster spot with Canada and earning him a conditioning stint with AHL Laval. He\u2019s back with the big club now and trying to recapture his game, but a three-goalie battery feels crowded, and Montembeault has showcased sufficient upside to warrant another team taking a chance on him.<\/p>\n Braden Schneider, D,\u00a0New York Rangers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 24 Schneider fits the classic bill of \u201cShouldn\u2019t this seller team be looking for\u00a0more\u00a0Braden Schneiders rather than trading Braden Schneider?\u201d Maybe, but he hasn\u2019t blossomed as a Blueshirt, and he could command a sneaky-good return as big, strong, relatively young right-shot defenseman. Maybe Drury doesn\u2019t actively shop him but at least fields the offers in case one is too good to pass up.<\/p>\n Jesper Wallstedt, G,\u00a0Minnesota Wild<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 23 Would the Wild really move their talented, cost-controlled young goaltender in the midst of his breakout season? There\u2019s fire with that smoke. Between Kirill Kaprizov\u2019s record-setting contract and the Quinn Hughes trade, GM Bill Guerin is as all-in as it gets. His team has a gaping hole at center. If there\u2019s a chance to bring in a Thomas or Kadri type, do you sacrifice Wallstedt and roll with Filip Gustavsson as your unquestioned No. 1 going forward? Samuel Hlavac\u2019s tremendous play for Slovakia at the Olympics could make a trade easier to stomach<\/a>, as he could become the long-term No. 2 in that scenario.<\/p>\n Nick Robertson, RW,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 24 Robertson has seemingly been on the trade block for so long that he\u2019s paying rent at this point. He also requested to be moved before the 2024-25 season. And now he\u2019s switched agents to share one with brother Jason. Does it still make sense to deal Nick, though? With all their injuries this season, the Leafs have finally granted him his wish and played him higher in the lineup for spurts, and he has produced on and off, though not without the odd healthy scratch. Dealing Robertson would make an old, slow team older and slower, so it\u2019s hardly a foregone conclusion we see him moved.<\/p>\n Mario Ferraro, D,\u00a0San Jose Sharks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 27 After the Kiefer Sherwood trade, it felt like the Sharks were moving forward as a buyer, but they\u2019ve slid back onto the playoff bubble, so is it possible GM Mike Grier hedges with his pending UFAs? Ferraro is a warrior who would make a fine addition to a second or third pair on a contender and whose defensive metrics would likely improve in that environment.<\/p>\n Warren Foegele, LW, Los Angeles Kings<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 The Kings would like to move on from Foegele\u2019s cap hit<\/a>, Friedman reports, and Foegele seems likelier to go than Alex Laferriere given the Kings have healthy scratched Foegele at times during a down year. But he\u2019s an established, experienced veteran who set career highs in goals and points with 24 and 46 last season. Because he has the extra year of term left, a rebuilding team could take him on, net a pick and then have an expiring UFA to flip next season.<\/p>\n Jake DeBrusk, LW,\u00a0Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Finding the right fit won\u2019t be easy given all that term left on his deal. But the streaky DeBrusk could augment a contender; he averages 26 goals per 82 games in the postseason for his career. It\u2019s a matter of whether short-term help is worth the long-term sting on your cap.<\/p>\n Conor Garland, RW,\u00a0Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 John Klingberg, D,\u00a0San Jose Sharks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 33 Grier would be smart to sell high on Klingberg\u2019s revival, finding a trade partner needing power-play augmentation, but it\u2019s contingent on San Jose reversing course on the buyer posture. Interestingly, he had a no-trade clause until Jan. 30, which has now changed to a 14-team no-trade list.<\/p>\n Ryan Strome, C,\u00a0Anaheim Ducks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 32 Strome\u2019s average ice time has dropped to 12:05 per game, and that\u2019s when he\u2019s not healthy scratched. He\u2019s simply not a big part of Anaheim\u2019s core anymore, it seems, despite the fact he\u2019s a respected dressing-room leader on a young team. Could there be a hockey trade out there involving a team that could use him for a larger role in its top nine?<\/p>\n Max Domi, LW,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 Domi will always be a defensive liability. But he\u2019s a productive 5-on-5 facilitator, quietly sitting sixth among all NHL forwards in primary assists per 60 over the past three years, and he plays with an edge. Given he can shift all over a team\u2019s top nine, at wing or center, his AAV is hardly prohibitive.<\/p>\n Boone Jenner, C,\u00a0Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 32 Here\u2019s where the East\u2019s parity makes things so complicated. If the Blue Jackets believe they can make the playoffs: no reason to deal their captain and all-time games leader and more reason to expect he\u2019ll re-sign. If not: a heart-and-soul forward like Jenner\u00a0would invite a feeding frenzy if he\u2019s available.<\/a><\/p>\n Matias Maccelli, LW,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 25 Once the Leafs bumped out assistant coach Marc Savard and handed the power-play reins to Steve Sullivan, Maccelli saw looks on the top unit and seemed rejuvenated. The surge was short-lived, though, and he\u2019s since been demoted to PP2. Back to expendable status?<\/p>\n Anthony Stolarz, G,\u00a0Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 32 The Leafs have a logjam forming in net between Stolarz, Woll and the emerging Dennis Hildeby, with Artur Akhtyamov also showing promise in the AHL. If you have to move one netminder from the stable: Stolarz is the oldest, the most expensive, has the worst injury history, and has played the poorest of the group this season. Could that make him the odd man out? On the flip side, all those traits might give him the lowest trade value among Toronto\u2019s tenders.<\/p>\n Timothy Liljegren, D,\u00a0San Jose Sharks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 26 It feels like Liljegren should\u2019ve had a better career up to this point. As a smooth-skating righthanded blueliner with good puck skills, he has value in this league. But he struggled to establish himself as a regular with Toronto, and it doesn\u2019t sound like he\u2019s part of San Jose\u2019s long-term plans. It might be worth jettisoning him given he\u2019s an expiring asset.<\/p>\n Alex Laferriere, RW, Los Angeles Kings<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 24 Laferriere is a high-floor, albeit low-ceiling, middle-six forward and cost controlled for a couple more seasons after this one. The Kings don\u2019t have to move him, but he\u2019s a name to watch only if they continue their big-game hunt and try to take on significantly more salary. But is it sunk-cost fallacy to add to the Panarin trade after losing Fiala?<\/p>\n Zach Whitecloud, D, Calgary Flames<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Whitecloud remains in his prime and has been immediately handed mega responsibility since coming to Calgary in the Rasmus Andersson trade, logging more than 23 minutes per game after averaging 17:44 in eight seasons with Vegas. But if the Flames end up dealing Kadri and Coleman and are truly stripping this thing to the studs, there isn\u2019t much point holding onto Whitecloud given he\u2019s not part of a next-generation core to build around.<\/p>\n Pius Suter, C, St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Suter\u2019s AAV is maybe a hair high for a forward whose game is about defense. But the Blues might be OK retaining a bit of money given they haven\u2019t used any of their slots and he\u2019s only under contract one extra season. He\u2019d be a handy third-line addition for a contender.<\/p>\n Viktor Arvidsson, RW, Boston Bruins<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 32 The Bruins are adopting a modest buyer posture this week, looking to add if it helps them in the long term. If they have their eyes on a major trade, they may need to balance the ledger by convincing Arvidsson to waive his NMC. But GM Don Sweeney also stressed the need to maintain depth during a condensed schedule<\/a>, so Arvidsson is a long shot to move.\u00a0<\/p>\n Evan Rodrigues, RW, Florida Panthers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 32 The Panthers don\u2019t have to make the shocker deal and move Bobrovsky, but they could soft sell by trading some of their support pieces. Rodrigues can play all over the lineup and really elevates his game in the postseason, with his per-82-game scoring average jumping from 36 to 55 points. There would absolutely be a market for him.<\/p>\n Brock Boeser, RW, Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Boeser only just commenced his seven-year extension and has full control over whether he goes, but TSN\u2019s Darren Dreger reports Boeser would consider a move for the right fit<\/a>. The Boston Bruins reportedly have interest as they search for a goal scorer. But Would Boeser accept a trade to any location besides his native Minnesota?\u00a0<\/p>\n Trey Augustine, G, Detroit Red Wings<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 21 Consider this slot representative of Augustine or Sebastian Cossa. The argument here: we know Wings GM Steve Yzerman is under pressure to bring in some significant help, particularly after his captain Dylan Larkin called out the lack of upgrading at last year\u2019s Trade Deadline. Detroit\u2019s bursting prospect cupboard allows for the sacrificing of a few promising chips. Cossa and Augustine are two of the sport\u2019s best netminding prospects, and with Cossa dominating the AHL and ready to kick down the door to the NHL, Augustine feels relatively expendable. Cossa\u2019s trade value is higher given he\u2019s already playing pro hockey, but Augustine\u2019s is plenty high, too. He\u2019s dominating at Michigan State.<\/p>\n Alexis Lafreniere, RW, New York Rangers<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 24 So far, his career-best numbers of 2023-24 look more like an anomaly than a breakout. But the 2020 No. 1 overall pick is just 24 years old, and the 2024 playoff run in which he bullied his way to a 6-8-14 stat line in 16 games represents his potential. Particularly in a rising-cap world, a team looking to add some cost-controlled upside might be willing to invest in a career turnaround.<\/p>\n Sam O\u2019Reilly, C, Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 19 The Bolts have a real shot at the Stanley Cup during a season in which their nemesis Panthers are a playoff long shot. The Lightning don\u2019t have their 2026 and 2027 first-round picks and thus may have to dip into their (shallow) prospect pool to secure any upgrades this week. O\u2019Reilly, an Oilers 2024 first-rounder acquired for Ike Howard, is still playing major junior and thus not particularly close to helping at the NHL level. O\u2019Reilly is also not an extremely high-ceiling prospect. In other words, he might be expendable for GM Julien BriseBois.<\/p>\n Mavrik Bourque, C, Dallas Stars<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 24 Bourque is just starting to figure it out, with his ice time and production on the rise as he works alongside Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston on Dallas\u2019 first line. So why move Bourque now? It only makes sense if the all-in Stars make a major trade that definitively launches them into elite contender status. If you\u2019re getting Nazem Kadri, for instance, it\u2019s worth sacrificing Bourque, who is quietly already 24 and inching close to \u201cit would\u2019ve happened by now\u201d status.<\/p>\n Troy Stecher, D, Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 31 Part of me agrees with my colleague Scott Maxwell<\/a>: Stecher has provided some puck-moving the Leafs D-corps has desperately lacked and makes a fine re-sign candidate. On the other hand: he\u2019s 31, the Leafs should be securing as much pick-and-prospect capital as they can find and, if they really like Stecher, they can probably stake a crack at him again July 1.<\/p>\n Stuart Skinner, G, Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 27 Could the Pens flip Skinner months after acquiring him<\/a>? Arturs Silovs has surpassed him as their preferred starter, they have a dynamite young goalie in the AHL in Sergei Murashov, and there could be a small market for Skinner given his ability to get hot for stretches. He\u2019s just as likely to post an .870 save percentage for the balance of the season as he is to go on a .925 heater for a month. He\u2019s the league\u2019s most volatile goaltender but at least carries upside for a team in need of insurance.<\/p>\n Emmett Croteau, G, Montreal Canadiens<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 22 Multiple reporters have dropped Croteau\u2019s name this week as a trade chip<\/a> to watch. The Habs have excellent goaltending depth and a mega prospect ahead of Croteau on their depth chart in Jacob Fowler, so they could use Croteau as a sweetener without feeling too much pain.<\/p>\n Simon Nemec, D, New Jersey Devils<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 22 LeBrun reports the Devils are taking calls on their promising young blueliner<\/a>, wondering if they might parlay him into forward help. I\u2019m skeptical that we see him moved in the next two days \u2013 the Devils aren\u2019t making the playoffs, so why rush a deal and limit your suitors? \u2013 but he\u2019s absolutely still young enough to carry significant upside as a trade target. He could return something very interesting.<\/p>\n John Carlson, D, Washington Capitals<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 36 Only Alex Ovechkin has played more games in a Capitals uniform. It\u2019s difficult to picture Carlson going anywhere else. But teams are checking on Carlson, LeBrun reports.<\/a> Still, even though Carlson technically has 21 destinations to which he can be dealt without his permission, it\u2019s tough to imagine Washington doing him dirty without consulting him.<\/p>\n Alex Tuch, RW,\u00a0Buffalo Sabres<\/a><\/p>\n Age: 29 Tuch was pretty open about wanting to remain a Sabre after last season ended, but no extension got done, and every ensuing report on the negotiations\u00a0suggested the two sides were far apart<\/a>. That\u2019s likely because Tuch knows he can land a life-changing deal on the open market since so many of the top 2026 UFAs have already re-signed. So much has changed since our first trade board, though. The Sabres replaced GM Kevyn Adams by promoting Jarmo Kekalainen, then went 24-5-2 over their next 31 games. So we have a new GM who has already expressed interest in retaining Tuch plus a Sabres team that has clawed its way back into contention. We thus may have to wait until the 11th\u00a0hour to understand what makes sense for Buffalo and Tuch. He\u2019d obviously be a massive get for any contender given his blend of size, scoring touch and penalty-killing acumen. But you simply cannot trade him if\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0the contender. Tuch is speaking publicly about wanting to win a Cup, not just make the playoffs, this season with Buffalo. He stays, right? It would break the fan base\u2019s heart to move him now, even if he\u2019s an own rental.<\/p>\n TIER 3: Trade chips if teams pivot to sell<\/p>\n Jared McCann, LW, Seattle Kraken TIER 4: Wait until summer<\/p>\n Brady Tkachuk, LW, Ottawa Senators:\u00a0He was pretty sick of losing\u2026how will he take if it he\u2019s right back out of the playoffs one year after it took him seven seasons to finally make it? <\/p>\n Adam Fox, D, New York Rangers: From the Ranger retool, to not making the Olympic team coached by Rangers bench boss Mike Sullivan, to Fox\u2019s cryptic comments to the media last week\u2026it feels like there\u2019s an opening for another team to swoop in try and pry him away. It\u2019s a storyline we should bookmark for June.<\/p>\n Morgan Rielly, D, Toronto Maple Leafs:\u00a0Plenty of term left and has never wanted out of Toronto, but if the Leafs remain far away from a playoff position by Deadline Day, maybe they blow it up. More likely a summer storyline, though.<\/p>\n Andrei Svechnkikov, LW, Carolina Hurricanes:\u00a0Was talked up as someone open to a trade earlier this season, but he\u2019s playing too well to move now, right? Back on top line and producing like a borderline star.<\/p>\n Owen Tippett, RW, Philadelphia Flyers: Some teams have sniffed around him leading up to the deadline; keep an eye on that 10-team no-trade clause which kicks in July 1.<\/p>\n Darnell Nurse, D, Oilers: He declined to waive his NMC last summer. But might he want a fresh start? With the cap jumping to $104 million, it also might be easier than before to find a suitor as teams might have to work to reach the new projected salary floor of\u00a0 $76.9 million.<\/p>\n TRADED from previous boards<\/p>\n Quinn Hughes _____<\/p>\n The 2026 Trade Deadline Special is going LIVE March 6th.

Whoa. Garland on the block when his six-year extension hasn\u2019t even begun? That contract was signed before the Canucks and Garland knew the team would veer off a cliff and trade Quinn Hughes. If we think of his already-signed contract as a price a team could pay in free agency\u2026could there be a market for his speed and scrappiness? Per Pagnotta,\u00a0the Canucks are taking calls on Garland,<\/a>\u00a0who is \u201cnot for sale\u201d but whose NMC kicks in this summer.<\/p>\n
