GM's might prefer to do trades within their division and ahead of the deadline to coincide with whenever their teams face each other, sort of like the Cole/Pateryn trade when Colorado and Minnesota were both in California at the same time and the players could just swap teams and be available immediately.

I heard he has his fastball working again.

Devils UFA's seem interesting. Palmieri and Gusev will have serious interest.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

I imagine Arvidsson, Forsberg, Rakell, Silfverberg are towards the top that are realistically available.

I could see Ottawa making another “primer” trade. E.g. Dzingel, who will be flipped at the deadline having already gone through his quarantine. This opens up the market - since he can now be traded to any other team and play immediately.

I don't think Arvidsson and Forsberg are realistically available, though.

Taylor Hall and Stall out of Buffalo.......

GETZLAF if he agrees to be traded.....

 

[themelkman]

Palmeiri yeah, Gusev no

Not been good this year?

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Not been good this year?

only 3 points in 11 games I believe.

Though I'd like Dustin Brown to play his whole career with the Kings, he could become available if the Kings fall out of contention. Dustin has 10 goals this season and is playing well. He's been a major player in the Kings 6 game winning streak.

 

[BWJM]

Skinner @ 9 mill a season is available.

 

[Sparky93]

Gaudreau

 

[nbwingsfan]

Hall is likely traded, lots of teams in that division who could go for him too.

Mantha could be a "surprise" player traded if Blashill isnt fired first

 

[Dotter]

Bobby Ryan available. $1 mil cap, wings will retain for the right return.
