However, he was recently injured and is on injured reserve. The Anaheim Ducks should be looking for a lot in return for the two-time goal scorer. The price may come down as the deadline approaches. Early this season, the Nashville Predators all but said they were having a fire sale. Now they are in the playoff race. Although it was reported he asked for a trade, Bennett remained a big part of the Calgary Flames.
Bennett is a playoff performer and has several ties to Toronto. He would be a quality addition to the roster as he could start playing right away, bypassing the seven-day quarantine rules for players from the United States. There is no shortage of defensemen available. The top prize is going to come with a very high price tag. Imagining the shutdown defenseman playing with Muzzin is enough to make you want to pay.
As described with Granlund, Nashville could make the playoffs, and they will need Ekholm for that run. Some thought this big man could join Toronto last season , one year later, and he is still a solid shutdown kind of guy that could bring some more toughness and grit to the blue line. The Buffalo Sabres appear ready to clean the house. There are two solid defensemen, Brandon Montour and Colin Miller , who are on the trade bait radar.
Perhaps there is a package deal in the works. The restricted free agent is believed to be available from the St. Louis Blues. That said, the trade-only game makes sense if Toronto can resign him, and he will be an expensive player to keep. Jamie Oleksiak is a monster of a man and is being shopped by the Dallas Stars. Again, this is one of the most challenging area to predict. Suppose Andersen is not going to recover in time for the playoffs. In that case, this must be the number one priority for Toronto.
Campbell has earned the starting role but cannot hold the position regularly due to a persistent injury. Just the fact that Dubas is calling shows the interest.
At 27, he could be part of a longer-term plan for the Maple Leafs net. The Detroit Red Wings are going to be clearing out assets. The former Leaf netminder has played very well behind a struggling team this season. However, he is dealing with an injury. Toronto has too many nicked-up goalies already. The Arizona Coyotes are another team that is not sure if they are buyers or sellers yet. However, if they do start elling off assets and reloading for the future, Kuemper would be a welcome addition.
But, he is also dealing with an injury. Devan Dubnyk is likely to be moved out of San Jose, but his numbers have not been very good this season. Jonathan Quick got some discussions going a few weeks ago. However, he is not the Quick that won a Stanley Cup. His numbers are down as well. Because hockey players live in arenas, right? In the wee hours of the morning, when all-time great Maple Leaf Doug Gilmour welcomed him to the club on Twitter, Foligno responded:.
They still have at least one more move coming. I think it is likely to be a depth defenseman. Columbus sent defenceman David Savard to the Tampa Bay Lightning in a three-team deal Saturday that also involved some deft salary cap gymnastics. The Bruins also added checking line forward Curtis Lazar, who has missed the past six games with an upper body injury. Kings vice-president and general manager Rob Blake said the franchise will have a conditional third-round selection in the NHL draft and a conditional fourth-round selection in the draft.
Pittsburgh GM Ron Hextall spent seven seasons with the Kings as assistant general manager, including when they won their first Stanley Cup in Carter has played 16 years in the NHL with the last nine-plus seasons coming with the Kings, who he helped to a pair of Stanley Cup titles.
The year-old forward was acquired from Columbus during the season. During his time with the Kings, he led the team in power-play 57 and game-winning goals 44 , was second in goals , third in points and fourth in assists In 40 games this season, Carter has eight goals and 11 assists. He leaves Los Angeles tied for 10th in franchise history in goals and first in overtime goals with The Kings are likely to miss the post-season for a third straight season.
They have won only three of their last 10 and are six points out of the final playoff spot in the West Division. Think about it. Dubas makes big acquisition at the deadline, looking like Montreal Canadiens in the first round. Few of the top prospects have even playing crapshoot becomes an even bigger guessing game.

The Leafs ended up making a total of five trades between April 9th and April 12th, hoping that they make a deep playoff run that fans and themselves have been waiting for. On April 9th, around dinnertime, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets made their second trade of the season with each other which sent Riley Nash from Columbus to Toronto in exchange for a conditional 7th-round pick.
The initial thought I had when this trade happened was confusion for a split second, and then I realized what Kyle Dubas had just done in this trade. Dubas essentially acquires a bottom-six forward in Riley Nash, who is also currently injured, for a very cheap draft pick.
Nash will be available for the playoffs for Toronto so they traded for an injured fourth-line center who is very, very responsible defensively to give them cap space for more trades and have a chance to use him come playoff time as well.
