Monday, Feb. 21 marks exactly one month until the NHL's trade deadline and the Tyler Toffoli to Calgary deal hasn't opened the gates to further moves quite yet.In the next four weeks the rumour mill will kick into high gear, names will be added and removed from trade lists and we'll surely get a surprise or two.
With the Canucks bringing in new management and slowing on their pace to reclaim a realistic shot at the playoffs, much has been made about the potential for subtractions from the roster, stretching all the way up to team scoring leader . It would be a shock to see Vancouver part with Miller, their best forward from Day 1 this season, or one of their core trio up front . Moving Garland and his manageable $4.95-million cap hit might end up the more palatable deal, then.
Does St. Louis opt to move their most dangerous scorer in a season that has them on track for the playoffs? No, probably not. But on the other hand, if the recent run of success still hasn’t changed Tarasenko’s mind, if the veteran is still going to push for a change of scenery in the off-season, is his value going to be higher than it is right now, when he’s piling up points at will?
The 23-year-old blueliner has three years remaining on his team-friendly deal and has been mentioned in trade rumours for a while now, although a Chychrun deal feels more like one that would happen prior to the draft as opposed to the deadline.It’s tough envisioning Claude Giroux in colours besides Flyers’ orange and black but the pending UFA’s time with the team that selected him 22nd overall at the 2006 NHL Draft could be winding down.
President of hockey operations Jim Rutherford has been known to make a splash or two on the trade market and isn't afraid to take a big swing in the name of winning. But with first-time general manager Patrik Allvin at the helm now, and assistant GMs Emilie Castonguay, Cammi Granato, and Derek Clancy bringing a wide array of expertise to the table, I'm really interested in seeing their collective approach.
don't ever trade Elliott to TSN.
I feel like the trade dead line has been talked about for the last 2 months I am already sick of it.
Another day, another hockey writer suggesting that Zito is going to consider putting up Spencer Knight and Anton Lundell as deadline trade bargaining chips. Ain't gonna happen, unless the deal involves moving Knight to the Oilers for, I dunno, McDavid or Draisaitl. 😌
