BHN Daily: Plenty Of Big NHL Name Trade Possibilities

Published

NHL Trade

It’s going to be a star-studded offseason for the NHL with so many big-name trade candidates potentially hitting the market.

Obviously, Jack Eichel is at the top of the list given the schism between the superstar center and the Buffalo Sabres and given how tired he is of losing in Buffalo this point in his career. But there will be other massive stars that may be looking for a fresh start elsewhere. Seth Jones’ days seem numbered in Columbus and that’s the kind of top pair defenseman that every team around the NHL could use.

Dazzling scorers like Johnny Gaudreau, Vladimir Tarasenko and Mitch Marner might be out there for the taking as well according to this Sportsnet roundup of the likely suspects. So, there will be plenty of chances for NHL teams to greatly improve their rosters with star-caliber players this season, so that just brings around the excitement that waits a month or so from now when the Stanley Cup playoffs have concluded.
