One player on each NHL team that should be traded

Don’t sleep on the NHL Trade Deadline featuring a flury of activity that could shape the Stanley Cup Playoff race.

The NHL trade deadline is Monday, Feb. 26. Unlike other sports, there is always a flurry of action surrounding the NHL trade deadline. That doesn’t mean big names are moved. Typically, it means a lot of teams make minor moves to get rid of unrestricted free agents and shakeup their depth.

It’s likely that every team in the league will make at least one move. That trade could be dealing a minor leaguer for a conditional draft pick. In fact, get ready to pretend you know a lot abut certain AHL players that you will never hear from again. And get ready to talk yourself into that conditional sixth round pick becoming the next Pavel Datsyuk.

You may think your team is going to stand pat at the deadline, but you’d be wrong. They’re going to deal someone. Just accept it.

Since every team is likely to make a trade, that means every team has at least one player that they’d be willing to trade. I have targeted one player on each team that needs to be moved. These are current roster players. No minor league in this slideshow. These are guys you see and think to yourself, “My team could use that guy.” And if your team ponies up the right price, they can have all 31 players listed, creating the ultimate NHL trade deadline super team.

Hey, it worked for the Golden Knights.
