Who will get moved in the final hours before the NHL trade deadline? Here are seven candidates with the latest rumors on them.
The NHL trade deadline is at 3 p.m. ET today. Many big-name trade candidates have already been moved, but some notable players could be worth watching.
Brock Boeser, Vancouver Canucks: ESPN's Emily Kaplan reported a lot of teams are interested in the 25-year-old winger. However, they're balking at his $6.65-million average annual value through 2024-25. Kaplan claimed the Canucks are willing to retain part of his cap hit for a good return.
James van Riemsdyk, Kevin Hayes and Ivan Provorov, Philadelphia Flyers: A pending UFA, van Riemsdyk is the most likely of this trio to be moved. TSN's Darren Dreger reported the Flyers were getting calls about Provorov, but it will take a substantial offer to pry him away. ESPN's Emily Kaplan claimed there was a limited market for Hayes and his $7.14-million cap hit.
Joel Edmundson, Montreal Canadiens: Despite nagging injuries, Edmundson remains a subject of interest in the trade market. Sportsnet's Eric Engels reports sources claiming two playoff-bound clubs have looked into acquiring the 29-year-old defenseman. He has a year left on his contract with a $3.5-million cap hit.
John Klingberg, Anaheim Ducks: Klingberg and fellow blueliner Dmitry Kulikov were held out of the Ducks lineup during Wednesday's game against the Washington Capitals for “trade-related reasons.” GM Pat Verbeek could have something brewing here. Klingberg carries a $7-million cap hit.
Dante Fabbro, Nashville Predators: With the Predators in sell mode, Fabbro could be next on his way out of Nashville. An RFA with arbitration rights this summer, the 24-year-old defenseman has come up lately in the rumor mill. He carries an affordable $2.4-million cap hit. A recent report had him linked to the San Jose Sharks.
