Baptiste is a glaring trade target. I think Erie should (and probably will) go after him.
Paterson and Hope are the big goalie targets, it can be tricky for some teams though as they are OA's.
Dmen I'm not quite sure. I expect Genovese to be available when Wigle is healthy but he's not really a huge target. bottom four dman who can PK and add some toughness.
If Niagara continues to struggle there could be a few guys there on D who could be dealt. Sudbury too.

Baptiste from Sudbury intrigues me a lot. And not like Sudbury is going for it all this year so they likely look to rebuild through some trades this year

Fun thread.
I'd add Baptiste, Hope, and Paterson as very likely to be traded. I think Petes/Niagara/Guelph will wait another month before determining direction. All 3 teams have been rumoured to be buying up to this point, though that could change in a month if Niagara/Petes/Guelph don't pick it up before WJC's. I agree that Niagara should auction Verhaeghe given the heavy 96/97 content indicating a run next year. I'd be shocked if Guelph sold though.
I also think DeAngelo will be moved. I would add Plymouth to the surefire list of buyers, regardless of record. With it surely being Campagna's final year and likely Milano's too (who would have an NTC anyway), Plymouth pretty much has to buy, not to mention their quest of establishing immediate financial stability.
If Horvat returns (>50%, IMO), London won't shop for a high-end forward. The top-6 is the strength of the team, and the 3rd line would be above average. A depth forward with size is conceivable given London's collective lack of size. London probably won't be on the market for a Defenceman either, due to over-saturation. London's 3-8 D (by icetime) are Jamieson, Mete, Crawley, Martenet, Gleason, and Nother. Icetime for those 6 is one of this season's emphases, and 1 or 2 are already scratched each game. Many fans actually want to move Mermis to pave more ice for the Young 6 and many believe Mermis isn't an upgrade over them anyway. That won't happen though. Despite good goaltending this campaign, London's most likely purchase would be a starting goalie, with rookie Parsons as back-up. They fell short in the inconclusive Hope sweepstakes, but who knows if interest can be rekindled at the right price. Paterson is likely out of London's price range as London only has 1 2nd and 1 3rd to offer in the form of picks.
Summarily, I'd say:
1. Starting goalie
2. Depth forward with size
3. Nothing

I would add Jimmy Lodge to this list. Saginaw looks to be rebuilding, Lodge is 19 and in most likely his final year. He has regained his scoring touch that evaded him last. He would probably be a good buy low candidate as compared to other star quality players.
Paterson to Soo.
Overheard a conversation at game with a gentleman sitting with him , he had pointed to Paterson and said this is your goalie next week or something like that. I am 98 percent sure that's what I heard and saw ...
I think Grasskamp / 2nd for Paterson would be good enough. Imo. Maybe a later conditional or something

Nick Ritchie will not be traded. The Petes are a better team since they obtained Matthew Mancina.
IMO, the Petes will look to add an impact defenseman before the trade deadline. Likely looking to use guys such as Smith, Lizotte, Nosad and the bundle of 2nd round picks they have as trade bait.
Would be interesting if the Storm continue to struggle. A lot of 19 year old talent on the roster + Fabbri. Dickinson, Harpur and Bertuzzi could fetch a decent amount.
Can't see Corbett or Silk but Pancel and Baptiste for sure.
COrbett to assist with the young back end and Silk is loved by management and coaches and believe they want him to finish his OHL career as a Wolve.

Something is going on in Windsor. Warren Rychel has been at the last two Steelheads' games. I don't who is watching, but apparently some of his scouting staff was with him today.
He will probably be looking at either hooking Day or McLead for Hop-Sang. He already has Brown, Stanley and Kirwan and making a bid for Mem Cup in two years.

Rangers need to shop Bailey. They aren't going anywhere this year and with next year being a target year, they need to turn Bailey into assets to aid with that run.
Bailey won't be returned as an OA and would bring a bounty in trade.
The problem is that we have a lame duck coach/GM duo who may feel the need to have some playoff success this year to aid in getting their contracts extended. They are both in the 2nd year of their 2 year deals. Keeping Bailey, and maybe even becoming buyers at the deadline, may be a direction they'd want to go in.

Day hasn't been in the line up last few games, he's in Sarnia with u17 if he is checking out a steelhead it ain't Day.
Sorry for double post got phone call while writing mine and hit post and torts had already said it.
Yeas exactly.
Ask for Ho Sang he's the one guy I wish Soo would try to get ...... Honestly he would fit in seamlessly and plays this style of hockey. Just makes sense but I'm not the GM for a reason lol

Lemcke, Laishram, Hicks, Marchment are others off the top of my head who aren't being moved anytime in the foreseeable future.
Nobody will want Ming or Collela. Heffernan and Crammer could be on the block. Thats about it I think. Petti has looked good this year
