Who are some of the obvious trade block names for each team? Who is likely on the move?

Fleury is the one i can think of that i think is most likely to be moved.

Duchene? Possibly, but probably not. No GM would ever be stupid enough to give up what Joe Sakic wants for Duchene.

Ottawa- Zack Smith.

Toronto- James van Riemsdyk.

Tampa Bay- Killorn/Johnson, Garrison.

Detroit- Abdelkader, Helm, Howard, Green, etc.

Pittsburgh- Murray/Fleury.

Columbus- Calvert, Johnson.

New York Rangers- Fast, Klein, Girardi.

New York Islanders- Hamonic.

Carolina- Ward/Lack.

Chicago- Kruger, Hjalmarsson.

Minnesota- Zucker, Scandella.

Nashville- Wilson, Ekholm/Ellis.

Winnipeg- Byfuglien/Myers (please Trouba).

Dallas- Lehtonen/Niemi.

Colorado- Duchene, Landeskog, Johnson.

Anaheim- Vatanen/Fowler/Silfverberg (unless Bieksa waive NMC)

Edmonton- Eberle.

San Jose- Pavelski, Burns (I know this is not going to happen, but hear me out: San Jose is getting older and their winning window is closing, imagin the return they could get for Burns and Pavelski, they would be cup contenders again).

Los Angeles- Brown, Gaborik, Martinez, Muzzin.

Vancouver- Edler/Tanev.

Sakic will learn and he will lower his price.

unfortunately, he probably won't.

Knowing Sakic your probably right. If he remains stubborn he's going to get fired.

agreed

Wait what??? Zack Smith? Burns and Pavelski is funny ahahah, I hope your not serious. Matt Murray, what are you saying??? Muezzin seriously! And Ekholm and Ellis now I have to question your hockey knowledge kind sir. Big Buff? And Trouba seriously??? What the heck is this!

Ottawa has to loose someone prior to expansion draft. As I said I don't seriously believe Burns or Pavelski get traded. If Fleury doesn't wave NMC than Murray has to be traded or Pittsburgh looses him fro nothing. Nashville has to trade someone or risk loosing them for nothing at expansion draft. And Trouba has already made it clear he feels he cannot reach his potential playing with Byfuglien and Myers, and Winnipeg cannot afford loosing him to free agency. LA has to shed one of their big contracts, and Muzzin may be one of the few that other teams are willing to give up valuable assets for.

What are you even saying? Ottawa will go 7-3-1 and expose Phaneuf and his big contract, Smith isn't going anywhere. Trouba is Winnipegs best dman, what are you even saying! Have you seen anything Jets related this year??? And you do know Pittsburgh and buyout Fleury right? Who said Murray should be traded? I question your knowledge of hockey, really now

Do you have any idea how valuable Phaneuf is to Ottawa, and what makes you think Vegas would take on his contract. Maybe Trouba's situation has changed, but Pittsburgh may be tempted to take the abundance of awards they would receive if they traded Murray.

You just basically contradicted yourself and helped my argument. Ottawa goes 7-3-1. Phaneuf is exposed. Exactly, Vegas probably wouldn't take on his contract. So they don't lose anyone. What are you even arguing for here?

MAYBE Troubas situation has changed? Stop reading year old Sportsnet stories and watch hockey for a change. If you watched a little bit you would see Trouba is Winnipegs best dman. Your claim that he should be traded is absurd.

You don't find many starting elite goalies at age 22. Murray isn't going anywhere, period. Where do you even get this stuff from?

Trouba could receive much more ice time on another team such as Dallas, or Toronto. Trouba may be tempted to go somewhere were he can play as much as possible.

When he's already playing top pairing minutes in Winnipeg? Go watch some Jets hockey for a change, then come back to argue your case. Otherwise don't come up with Sportsnet mumbo jumbo

Chances are Bieksa waives NMC, and Vatanen stays.
One bad season doesn't mean you trade Duclair.
I would give Jenner more time, he's only 23.
Why would Dallas trade a defenseman, when the thing they need most is D.
Hold on Galchenyuk! I see Gallagher but not Galchenyuk.
Sure Nashville won't keep Ellis and trade Ekholm instead?

IMO Duchene and Landeskog are definitely on the market, but Avs might get as much in return at TDL, especially if D an L have rebound seasons.
Ducks, Isles and Minni will try to move some of there "excess, unprotectable Dmen" for exempt draft players. Minni might have the same issues with their forwards.

Do you really not know who Josh Manson is? Even Bieksa waives his NMC, they can only protect 3/4 dmen of Vatanen, Fowler, Lindholm, and Manson. Bieksa just happily waiving his NMC doesn't solve anything.

Easy solution: trade Manson, protect the others, and yes I am fully aware of who Josh Manson is.

I wasn't even talking about Manson originally, I was simply stating that Vatanen doesn't have to go anywhere.

Since when does Dallas need defence? They have Klingberg, Johns, Hamhuis, and Lindell, and that's a good top 4. Then you have Oleksiak coming in too, as well as Honka. How do they need defence?

Also, i see MTL using Galchenyuk in a package to get a real 1C

What's so important about protecting Manson? YOU UNFORTUNATELY HAVE TO LOSE SOMEONE!

Are directing this at me or Booth. Because personally I don't think Manson is as big as a deal as Booth makes him out to be.

You don't think top 4 young right handed defenceman are big deals? Good that you're not a GM IRL then. Just look at what it took Charelli to get one. If you think Manson doesn't have much value then you're crazy, that's all that can be said

DavidBooth: Agree with you that Manson is quite valuable due to play and contract. Gotta think it's Vatanen that will be dangled before the draft. Trouble is Ducks have either good Dmen and forwards that would be exposed.
For Vatanen they would prefer draft exempt players if possible.
