After nine trades on Thursday, we're down to the final hours before the NHL trade deadline. Here's the latest speculation on who's left. Jacob Markstrom [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjAxNjgxOTAzMTAxNjgzNDc2/usatsi_21627665_168400847_lowres.jpg] Jacob Markstrom The NHL's trade deadline is 3 p.m. ET Friday. Here's the latest on the remaining notable trade candidates. TYLER TOFFOLI, NEW JERSEY DEVILS The Hockey News' Julian Gaudio [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-jersey-devils/latest-news/report-multiple-teams-interested-in-devils-toffoli] recently reported multiple teams were interested in Toffoli. The Devils scratched the 31-year-old winger from last night's game against the St. Louis Blues for trade-related reasons. TSN's Pierre LeBrun [https://www.tsn.ca/nhl/video/insider-trading-all-signs-point-to-hurricanes-landing-guentzel%7e2880856]reported it's not 100 percent certain that Toffoli gets traded as the Devils still believe they can make the playoffs. He indicated that the teams that were in on Jake Guentzel before he was acquired by the Carolina Hurricanes also kept tabs on Toffoli. JACOB MARKSTROM, CALGARY FLAMES The Hockey News' Randy Sportak [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames/latest-news/dear-craig-do-the-deal-the-calgary-flames-have-pared-down-to-the-point-trading-jacob-markstrom-asap-makes-the-most-sense] believes the Flames have pared down their roster to the point where trading Markstrom is a must. The 34-year-old goaltender was nearly shipped to the Devils last month before the deal fell through. TSN's Darren Dreger believes they could take another shot at acquiring Markstrom before the deadline. PAVEL BUCHNEVICH, ST. LOUIS BLUES Blues GM Doug Armstrong claims he's retooling his roster. However, The Athletic's Jeremy Rutherford [https://theathletic.com/5322045/2024/03/07/pavel-buchnevich-blues-trade-rebuild/] believes the rebuild is on if Buchnevich gets traded. Rutherford noted that Armstrong's high asking price for the 28-year-old winger could have possible suitors looking elsewhere. JAKOB CHYCHRUN, OTTAWA SENATORS TSN's Chris Johnston said Chychrun is drawing some interest in the trade market. Clubs that lost out to the Vegas Golden Knights for Noah Hanifin are likely seeking other options. Possible suitors include the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning. Michael DeRosa [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/latest-news/bruins-should-set-sights-on-senators-elite-defenseman] believes the Boston Bruins should target Chychrun. LINUS ULLMARK, BOSTON BRUINS Boston Hockey Now's Jimmy Murphy [https://bostonhockeynow.com/2024/03/07/nhl-trade-deadline-whats-left-for-the-bruins/] claimed the Los Angeles Kings are interested in the Bruins goaltender and have scouted him. However, The Athletic's Eric Stephens [https://theathletic.com/5320232/2024/03/06/la-kings-cam-talbot-canucks-goalie/] believes the Kings will stick with Cam Talbot. The Bruins could keep Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman together for another playoff run. FRANK VATRANO, ANAHEIM DUCKS The Hockey News' Patrick Present [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/anaheim-ducks/editorials/are-the-ducks-standing-pat] considers the All-Star Game winger as the Ducks' most valuable trade chip. Several clubs are interested, including his former team, the New York Rangers [https://nypost.com/2024/03/07/sports/rangers-reunion-with-frank-vatrano-at-top-of-mind-as-deadline-nears/]. The Ducks have used all their salary-retention slots for this season. Any team acquiring Vatrano must take on his $3.65-million cap hit through 2024-25.
