I don’t think we’ll make the playoffs, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a busy trading deadline.
Here are some players I think will be traded and their trade value.

David Savard
2nd and 3rd round picks. Depending on the team, he’s valuable for a playoff team. He’s going to get the same value as Chris Tanev last year.

Christian Dvorak
I don’t think he’s worth much on the market base on his cap hit. Maybe if we retain 50%, we might get a second round pick out of a team looking for a 3rd/4th line center. We gave up a 1st and 2nd for Dvorak in the Kotkaniemi offer sheet.

Jake Evans
I think we’ll try to resign him. I don’t see a 3rd/4th liner worth anything more than a 2nd round pick and prospect. Evans has more value than Dvorak because his cap hit is 1/3 of Dvorak. Also he’s better than Dvorak. I don’t know if we want any more prospects but bringing him back to teach Owen Beck is more valuable than trading him.

Josh Anderson
I don’t think any team will touch his cap hit.

Brendan Gallagher
His cap hit is too high but he’s off to a great start. If LA somehow is interested because of Bergevin’s influence on Blake, then we might see a prospect and a pick in return.

Veteran right shot D like Savard usually go for overvalue at deadline.

Gallagher I am not moving. He is a warrior and on pace for 35 goals.

Anderson playing good just overpaid. I would retain half for a first. At 2.75m he has value.

Dvorak maybe a 3rd. Many teams want depth at center and he is good at faceoffs.

Matheson for a first and throw in. Take value now. He's not long term answer here.

Primeau a 7th. Phill maybe? What we gave up for him. Like to give Hughes a look. He's out playing Dobes.

Only veteran that has value is Matheson. He could yield a first+.

Gallagher, despite his good start, is untradable because of his contract.
