I guess Ill start us off for the Trade Bait so heres my "starter" board, yall can throw it out or add on.

1) Tomas Hertl
Despite the Sharks unexpected, bounce back season - San Jose is far from the Cup, and not exactly locked for the playoffs. They are 1 point away from the second wild card but other teams hold games in hand and the team has been too inconsistent. Hertl wants, meaningful hockey, which just is not in the Sharks hand of cards right now.
Hertl is in the drivers seat tho, he will hit the market if he wont resign.. and there are not many days left for a deal to get done. After Hertls Hat-Trick OT win and star of the week honors - he continues to prove he is a high end asset for any team and at 2.812 million cap hit (with 50% retention), cup contenders likely are drooling for the center to hit the market. Hertl isnt one because I am a Sharks fan, he is the best asset if he hits the market currently.

2) Claude Giroux
Philly is toast, and Giroux should leave. Plain and simple, in bold, Giroux should be traded. He would return a handful of assets and Giroux is most likely a rental who will test the market - but more obvious is that he wants a shot at the Cup. With retention a contender adds a threat in Giroux that should not be overlooked. Maybe he returns to Philly in UFA, maybe he resigns with his "new team" or tests the waters who knows, but what Philly needs to do is cut loose and start doing something meaningful and bringing in a haul for Giroux. He's done everything he can for that team, give him a shot somewhere meaningful.

3) Hot Dog Kessel
Speaking of assets that contenders are going to desire with retention, Kessel is another player primed for a Cup run. Kessel is playing solid, and will no doubt be traded. Theres not much to talk about with Phil the Thrill here. He is a great middle six winger that any contender should consider adding if they weak on the wing. The Coyotes are selling, unlike discussing Hertl and SJ; Kessel leaving the desert should be a done deal.

4) Mark Giordano
Mark Giordano will be the Krakens first and shortest tenured captain. There is no reason why Giordano should stay in Seattle. Their joke of a GM butchered the expansion draft and Seattle has a bleak future even with Beniers coming soon. At 38, there isn't a shred of doubt Mark Giordano wants to play meaningful hockey and have a shot at the Cup. Seattle should get some good assets for the D man who is primed to push a contender deep.

5) John Klingberg
Klingberg is not a sure fire trade, hes worth a lot and Dallas wont just ship him away for nothing. And Klingberg wants big bucks. But hey, this guy has arguably the highest ceiling out of any of players here. Klingberg is a stud D man who is not going to be cheap but it will be interesting to see who bites on it. Dallas should sell John imo, he will return a basket of gifts for a couple stars fans lol

Add as you wish

lol odd timing haha both at the same time

Yours gives more details. Mine is just names lul

As I went with more depth pieces to rather than just the biggest names out there.

Lmao why is Chris Wideman the Habs player picked by NHL.com for the All-Star Game. I guess all forwards and goalies were more deserving than Suzuki & Allen so they had to pick a defenseman, but still.

you LOVE to see it

Never mind

He traveled with his All-Star status from the KHL to the NHL.

Doubt CBJ moves Laine and Hofmann had a personal leave of absence then got suspended by CBJ, the rest of CBJ and Montreal looks good

Frank mentioned Laine could be on the move as Columbus is not sure rn if they want to keep him or package him off. As they were playing well without him.

Hofmann could be moved as maybe what happened with Kravstov is going on with him. Who knows rn. But with the way he played before leaving someone may offer a low pick and maybe he wants a change of scenery

Hofmann’s wife gave birth in Switzerland, that’s why he had a personal leave of absence and he may just want to go back and play in Switzerland since that’s where his family is and he’s played there for most of his career

hmmm interesting. Will leave him on for now as things could change in a month or two (Mar 21 deadline)

But from the looks of things yeah he may just end up in the Switzerland

There, changed the order of the Stars players from who we should deal first to last.

@yikes thoughts on the Sharks moving Labanc? Do you think he’ll be available if the Sharks slip a little further?

I’d also add Senyshyn for Boston, and Anaheim should deal Lindholm, Manson, and Rakell for the long term benefit of their rebuild, but they might not if they’re still in the playoffs, which is unfortunate for them.

Labanc is UNFORTUNATELY injured, 3 months. dislocated shoulder.
For a player who you want to build value (I mean id be quite happy with 2nd, 3rd or 2nd 2nd or 2nd spec, something fairly good to see) through his play due to being in the dog house. Im not hopeful. that was the worst thing that could happened to Kevin Labanc because he needed a change of scenery and both parties (Sharks and Labanc) woulda gained. If I saw a 2nd + spec (example) and Labanc wound up with 50 points next year I would be happy for both sides.

he should have already been traded but thats too shortsided. he would have been dealt had it not been for the injury as it was worth seeing if he truly is just on BB **** list this year. And he was on Bobs **** list, so he was most likely going to be traded the closer it was getting to the TDL it seemed, but now we wont. so i doubt well see a labanc trade until hes played and that would come down to a draft day trade, thats my prediction.

but yes Labanc woulda been traded I woulda bet by TDL. i just personally don't see any team trading for him while hes injured/ rehabbing.

From what I hear, he’ll have a contract with a new team by the end of the week. https://t.co/s89kU1Hgwq
