1. Jakob Chychrun, LD - Arizona Coyotes

TFP’s David Pagnotta first reported on NHL Network at the start of the season that teams had inquired about Chychrun’s availability in the off-season. That interest has carried into the season and the Coyotes are listening. It will cost a significant package to get him out of Arizona (3-4 assets), but the effort’s there and it seems like the Coyotes could be persuaded if the right deal presented itself — whether that happens during the season or in the summer is the question. Chychrun has three-years left on his contract after this season.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Los Angeles, Florida, Carolina, Boston, Anaheim, St. Louis, Toronto, Columbus

2. Claude Giroux, C/RW - Philadelphia Flyers

Traded to Florida (Mar. 19)

Giroux owns a full no-movement clause and will dictate where he ends up, if he is traded. As TFP's David Pagnotta first reported on NHL Network in early-January, Giroux met with his agent, Pat Brisson, over All-Star Weekend to discuss his future and his options. Brisson can speak with other teams to gage the market. Giroux holds all the cards and if he wants a shot at a Stanley Cup, a move closer to deadline day seems likely.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Colorado, Boston, Florida, St. Louis, Carolina

3. Hampus Lindholm, LD - Anaheim Ducks

Traded to Boston (Mar. 19)

Lindholm is in the final year of his contract and can become a UFA this summer. As TFP’s Dennis Bernstein reported on Feb. 16, the belief is Lindholm is leaning towards testing the free agent waters in July, and if new Ducks GM Pat Verbeek can’t convince him to sign an extension before the deadline, the Ducks will look to trade him and retain assets in return.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Tampa Bay, NY Rangers, Boston, Florida, Toronto, Carolina, Edmonton

4. Mark Giordano, LD - Seattle Kraken

Traded to Toronto (Mar. 20)

The Kraken have experienced a rough first season in the NHL, but the team is focused on the long-term. Whether or not that includes captain Giordano is up in the air. Giordano’s in the final year of his contract and owns a 19-team trade list. His agent has had talks with Kraken GM Ron Francis about his future. For contenders looking to stabilize their backend, Giordano will be appealing — but the price likely starts with a first-round pick.

Teams reportedly Linked:

NY Rangers, Florida, Toronto, Calgary, St. Louis, Carolina, Boston

5. Rickard Rakell, RW/LW - Anaheim Ducks

Traded to Pittsburgh (Mar. 21)

The Ducks are in the thick of things in the Western Conference playoff race and have been reluctant to consider moving any of their pending UFAs — especially without a new GM. But now that Pat Verbeek is at the helm, the Ducks are expected to take calls on Rakell, who switched agents this season. Teams expressed interest in Rakell last season and in the summer, and are no doubt calling again.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Toronto, Pittsburgh, Boston, Tampa Bay, NY Rangers, St. Louis, Minnesota

6. Max Domi, C/LW - Columbus Blue Jackets

Traded to Carolina (Mar. 21)

Domi is having a good bounce-back season in Columbus. With limited top-six forwards available, Domi is generating interest. He is in the final year of his contract, there haven’t been any recent contract talks, and will become an unrestricted free agent in July.

Teams reportedly Linked:

NY Rangers, Washington, Toronto, Colorado, Boston, Carolina

7. John Klingberg, RD - Dallas Stars

TFP's David Pagnotta broke the news on NHL Now on NHL Network on Jan. 7 that Klingberg has asked for a trade if the Stars weren’t going to sign him to an extension. Contract talks hit a barrier and the 29-year-old blueliner is not expected to sign a deal with the Stars any time soon — unless the now-public trade request pushes things forward. The Stars do not have to accommodate his ask and could hold on to Klingberg for their own playoff aspirations. Alternatively, contending teams may pay a premium for him ahead of the trade deadline. It is wait-and-see mode in Dallas.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Carolina, Florida, Calgary, NY Rangers, Tampa Bay, Toronto

8. Calvin de Haan, LD/RD - Chicago Blackhawks

The Blackhawks are expected to move de Haan by the deadline. The two sides had very preliminary contract talks earlier in the season, but de Haan is expected to head into July looking for a new contract somewhere else. Chicago will likely retain a chunk of his cap hit in order to help a trade go through.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Calgary, Edmonton, Boston, Nashville, Colorado, Florida, Tampa Bay, Washington, Toronto, Vegas

9. Jeff Petry, RD - Montreal Canadiens

Petry hasn’t formally asked for a trade, per Habs GM Kent Hughes, but the 34-year-old defenceman would welcome a change of scenery after a tumultuous season led by COVID restrictions in Quebec that resulted in his family returning to their home in the U.S. Hughes said he is willing to move Petry, if the right deal presents itself. Petry has three more years left on his contract and comes with a $6.25M salary cap hit. He also owns a 15-team no-trade list.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Dallas, Philadelphia

10. Jake DeBrusk, LW - Boston Bruins

If you recall, DeBrusk was on last season’s Trade Watch List, as the club dangled him around the league. Since then, his frustrations over his usage have mounted and his desire for a change of scenery was escalated in late-November, later becoming public — and that feeling hasn’t changed. The Bruins are trying to trade him and are looking for a talent-for-talent swap.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Arizona, Edmonton, Seattle, San Jose, Anaheim

11. Tyler Bertuzzi, LW/RW - Detroit Red Wings

As TFP's David Pagnotta first reported on NHL Network in early-March, the Detroit Red Wings are taking calls on Bertuzzi, who has one more year left on his contract. There is no sense of urgency to move him, but there is interest in Bertuzzi and the Wings are open to the possibility.

Teams Reportedly Linked:

Pittsburgh, Toronto, NY Islanders, Los Angeles

12. Justin Braun, RD - Philadelphia Flyers

Traded to NY Rangers (Mar. 21)

As the Flyers debate internally when they should start selling off some of their assets, Braun will be player available once they decide to explore the trade market. He is a serviceable bottom-pair defenceman with plenty of experience and that is something contending teams will look at as the trade deadline approaches.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Calgary, Boston, Toronto, Nashville, Edmonton, NY Rangers, Minnesota

13. Owen Tippett, RW - Florida Panthers

Traded to Philadelphia (Mar. 19)

The Panthers are trying to get even better and are dangling Tippett as trade bait. The 23-year-old is just scratching the surface of his potential and with a loaded forward corps in Florida, he could start to thrive with more ice time on a new team.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Dallas, Philadelphia, Montreal, Anaheim, Arizona

14. Andrew Copp, LW - Winnipeg Jets

Traded to NY Rangers (Mar. 21)

The Jets aren’t gaining much ground in the playoff race and that could result in GM Kevin Cheveldayoff listening to offers for some of his players. One Jet that will receive plenty of interest in Copp, who is in the final year of his contract. At the time of this update, there haven’t been any contract talks on an extension. For teams looking to bolster their middle-six forward corps, Copp is an ideal addition for contenders.

Teams reportedly Linked:

NY Rangers, Boston, Carolina, Toronto, Washington, Edmonton, Colorado, Los Angeles

15. Conor Garland, RW/LW - Vancouver Canucks

The Canucks are taking calls on multiple players and while they’re reluctant to move most of them, Garland seems to be someone the new management regime in Vancouver are more willing to part with. This may evolve into an off-season move, if it happens, but something to certainly watch as the deadline approaches.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Pittsburgh, Toronto, New Jersey, Boston, Los Angeles, Columbus

16. Cal Clutterbuck, RW - New York Islanders

The Islanders are still holding on to hope that they can make a playoff push this season, but if they cannot make up more ground by the deadline, Clutterbuck is someone the Isles will consider moving. He is in the final year of a five-year, $17.5 million contract and does not own any no-trade protection.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Minnesota, Colorado, Boston

17. Phil Kessel, RW - Arizona Coyotes

It is no secret the Coyotes would like to trade Kessel this season, just as much as it is well known he would like a move to a Stanley Cup contender. The Coyotes will likely need to retain as much as half of Kessel’s cap hit (he’s only owed $1 million in salary this season after his $5M bonus was paid out July 1), and such a move is more likely to occur closer to the deadline.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Boston, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, NY Rangers

18. Artturi Lehkonen, LW/RW - Montreal Canadiens

Traded to Colorado (Mar. 21)

There appears to be several teams highly interested in exploring a trade for Lehkonen, who can become a restricted free agent in July. He would command a decent price that starts with a first-round pick. The Habs are willing to listen on almost anyone, but that does not mean they will move everyone.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Washington, NY Rangers, Minnesota, Colorado, Los Angeles

19. Dominik Kubalik, LW/RW - Chicago Blackhawks

As the Blackhawks enter their rebuild phase, Kubalik is a player they are actively taking calls on. He’s an RFA this summer and could use a change of scenery — something the Blackhawks are willing to do, for the right deal.

Teams Reportedly Linked:

Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Edmonton, Buffalo, Anaheim

20. Dylan Strome, LW/C - Chicago Blackhawks

The Blackhawks have dangled Strome since last season and this could finally be the year they pull the trigger; sources suggest he even believed he was going to be dealt in the off-season. He can become a restricted free agent in July, but comes with a $3 million cap hit. We’ll see if the Hawks find him a new home.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Ottawa, Columbus, Anaheim, Boston, Seattle

21. Marc-Andre Fleury, G - Chicago Blackhawks

Traded to Minnesota (Mar. 21)

It’s going to be up to Fleury, at the end of the day, but with Chicago open for business, moving Flower to a Cup contender could be something we see closer to the trade deadline.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Washington, Colorado, Toronto, Minnesota, Pittsburgh

22. Tyler Motte, LW/RW - Vancouver Canucks

Traded to NY Rangers (Mar. 21)

Motte is scheduled to become a UFA this summer. The Canucks are trying to see if they can get him locked up to an extension, but if they can’t agree to terms, they’ll explore moving him ahead of the trade deadline and teams will have interest in his services and low cap hit.

Teams Reportedly Linked:

Colorado, Tampa Bay, Washington, NY Rangers, Toronto

23. Nick Paul, C/LW - Ottawa Senators

Traded to Tampa Bay (Mar. 20)

Contract talks, as of Mar. 17, have not progressed between the Senators and Paul, who can become a UFA this summer. If that continues, the expectation is Paul will be traded by the deadline, and teams in need of a bottom-six upgrade are interested.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Tampa Bay, Boston, Edmonton, Los Angeles

24. Brock Boeser, RW - Vancouver Canucks

There are teams that are very interested in Boeser, who can become a restricted free agent this summer. The Canucks, however, really like him, too. There has been an open dialogue between the team and Boeser’s reps, as TFP’s David Pagnotta has continuously reported, and unless a team completely knocks Vancouver’s socks off, the team is holding on to him. But they aren’t ignoring calls — if a team is willing to pay a premium, they’ll listen.

Teams Reportedly Linked:

New Jersey, Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh

25. Travis Konecny, RW/LW - Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers came close to trading Konecny in the off-season, but that move fell through. Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher is open to a variety of options and moving Konecny as part of a large hockey trade could be in the cards ahead of the deadline as management weighs all of its options.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Los Angeles, Toronto, New Jersey

26. J.T. Miller, LW - Vancouver Canucks

The vultures were circling Vancouver when they were struggling mightily, and many of them set their talons on Miller, who has one-year left on his contract after this season. Since their coach and GM change, the Canucks have been playing better, but that has not stopped teams from poking around to see if they can pry Miller from them. Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin will listen, but there are no guarantees he will trade Miller this season.

Teams reportedly Linked:

NY Rangers, Colorado, Carolina, Toronto

27. P.K. Subban, RD - New Jersey Devils

Subban made his debut on the TFP Trade Watch List on Day 1 of the list being published. With Subban on an expiring contract, it seemed likely the team would explore moving him by the deadline. Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald publicly admitted in early-March that Subban won’t be re-signed and he will take trade calls. However, at a $9 million salary cap hit, even if the Devils retained half his deal, moving him might be a challenge if New Jersey’s price tag is too high. If a move happens, it’ll be closer to deadline day.

Teams reportedly Linked:

TBD

28. Brett Kulak, LD - Montreal Canadiens

Traded to Edmonton (Mar. 21)

Kulak, who can become a UFA in July 2022, provides contending teams with an option come playoff time, should any of their regular six defencemen are knocked out of action due to injury. His 23 playoff games in the past two seasons will be something teams look at closer to the deadline.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Los Angeles, Calgary, Dallas, Edmonton, St. Louis

29. Robert Hagg, LD - Buffalo Sabres

Traded to Florida (Mar. 20)

For teams interested in a depth defenceman ahead of the trade deadline, Hagg could be a prime candidate. The Sabres are listening on all of their pending UFAs and acquiring a decent draft pick for Hagg could be in the cards. He comes with a low cap hit and could be a solid 6-7-8 blueliner for a contender.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Calgary, Edmonton, Nashville, Dallas

30. Joonas Korpisalo, G - Columbus Blue Jackets

Korpisalo is in the final year of his contract and can become a UFA next summer. A trade is not imminent, at this time of this update, but a move closer to the trade deadline could be something in the cards for the Blue Jackets, as Korpisalo will likely test the waters in July.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Edmonton, Vegas, Washington, Toronto

31. Gabe Vilardi, RW/C - Los Angeles Kings

The Los Angeles Kings are fishing for a top left-shot defenceman or a top-six scoring winger and teams have plenty of interest in some of their top prospects, including Vilardi, who is playing very well in the AHL this season. The 2017 11th overall pick isn’t being actively shopped, but the Kings aren’t saying he’s unavailable, either… but LA won’t move him unless it’s part of a deal for a significant upgrade.

Teams Reportedly Linked:

Arizona, Philadelphia, Chicago

32. Colin Miller, RD - Buffalo Sabres

Miller is a UFA in July and the Sabres are actively looking to move him, among some of their other defencemen. Sabres GM Kevyn Adams told TFP’s David Pagnotta & Dennis Bernstein on Mar. 5 on The Hot Stove that he’s willing to retain money on any deal if the right offer presented itself. That could apply here if Miller’s traded by the deadline.

Teams Reportedly Linked:

Edmonton, Boston, St. Louis, Carolina

33. Alexander Georgiev, G - New York Rangers

Georgiev was looking for a change of scenery when the season started and the Rangers tried to accommodate him. For now, with how well the team has been playing, the Rangers may stand pat this season and hold on to Georgiev, who can become an RFA in July.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Vegas, Edmonton

34. Nick Leddy, LD - Detroit Red Wings

Traded to St. Louis (Mar. 21)

Leddy can become a UFA this summer and so far he hasn’t had any talks with the Red Wings about a new contract. Detroit is willing to retain some salary and could take on part of Leddy’s $5.5 million cap hit, which could make trading him to a contender easier on the acquiring team’s budget.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Boston, St. Louis, Minnesota, NY Rangers

35. Nic Deslauriers, LW/RW - Anaheim Ducks

Traded to Minnesota (Mar. 19)

As the Blackhawks enter their rebuild phase, Kubalik is a player they are actively taking calls on. He’s an RFA this summer and could use a change of scenery — something the Blackhawks are willing to do, for the right deal.

Teams Reportedly Linked:

Washington, Toronto, Edmonton, Carolina, Minnesota, NY Rangers, Vegas

36. Semyon Varlamov, G - New York Islanders

The Islanders are taking calls on Varlamov, who has a 16-team no-trade list and has one more year left on his current contract. Teams may need the Islanders, or a third team, to retain a portion of his contract, but that will result in a higher overall price.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Vegas, Colorado, Washington, Edmonton

37. Travis Dermott, LD - Toronto Maple Leafs

Traded to Vancouver (Mar. 20)

The cap-strapped Maple Leafs will eventually need to shed salary and if they go the trade route, Dermott could be the odd man out. He’s no stranger to the rumour mill, and teams interested in a third-pair blueliner with an affordable cap hit may come calling.

Teams Reportedly Linked:

Anaheim, Buffalo, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Columbus, Dallas

38. Chris Tierney, C - Ottawa Senators

For teams looking to bolster their centre position in their bottom-six, Tierney could fill that void. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent this July and is generating interest around the league. The Senators are open for business and could move him prior to the deadline.

Teams reportedly Linked:

TBD

39. Mikko Koskinen, G - Edmonton Oilers

If the Oilers want to make any significant add this season, they will have to move out salary to do so, and one area the club has been trying to improve is its goaltending — even though GM Ken Holland said publicly on Jan. 11 the net belongs to Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen. Well, Koskinen has a $4.5 million salary cap hit. He is in the final year of his contract and if Holland wants to bolster his roster in a meaningful way, especially between the pipes, moving Koskinen and his cap hit is essential. The Oilers might have to sweeten the pot to make a deal happen, but it is an option they have been exploring, and there a few bottom-feeder teams willing to eat a contract for a draft pick and/or prospect.

Teams reportedly Linked:

TBD

40. Vitali Kravtsov, RW - New York Rangers

Kravtsov is spending the rest of this season with Chelyabinsk of the KHL, so any team acquiring him is looking at next season and beyond. There remains interest in the player, but the Rangers are trying to package him in deals for roster upgrades. If a deal isn’t made in-season, the Rangers will continue to explore their options in the summer and around the NHL Draft.

Teams reportedly Linked:

Vancouver, Montreal
