Speculation: Which teams are going to be sellers, and who/what it is on the market right now?

[Bouboumaster]

Is your team going to be a seller?

If so what are the pieces available?

[FSL KINGS]

Kings,
Moore & Spence!

Burroughs needs to go somewhere else. Far away. Future considerations is fine.

 

[go4hockey]

The Kings won’t be sellers.

 

[BHFAN92]

Blackhawks are going to be sellers:

• Taylor Hall
• Connor Murphy
• Ryan Donato
• Alec Martinez
• Pat Maroon
• Craig Smith
• Seth Jones- if he waives NTC and they eat part of his contract

 

[GeauxPreds1]

The preds need to be to go full rebuild but we have an incompetent front office so we'll probably be buyers because there is a 2.9 chance we can still make the playoffs

 

[Laus723]

Panthers will be buyers, no idea to what degree. Need an RD and a 3RW, imo

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The bottom of the East is a mess, where even Buffalo is just a short win streak away from being back in the thick of the race.

The West is a little more clear, where the bottom 3 are more or less done, and ANA and SEA teetering on the cliff's edge.

 

[FSL KINGS]

The Kings won’t be sellers.

They'll be buyers, but moving Moore for an upgrade wouldn't be surprising. Could also see a physical D brought in for the 3rd pair.

 

[Habs Halifax]

List the best centers and D you think your team will sell? Centers and D are usually the prime targets. This will give us a good indication of the supply/demand which is huge at TDL's

Habs have Evans and Savard. Not worth talking about Dvorak. I think there is a shortage of RD's and C's and Evans will be targeted by several teams. A very good 3C to add for a contender looking for an added edge no doubt.

Habs probably are sellers but hard to say how they do in the next 1.5 months. I think they stay in the mix but management still knows the probability is low to make the playoffs and sell on some pending UFA's. Armia is another

 

[HajdukSplit]

Islanders should but because of the mediocrity around WC2 and Lou they will probably stand pat. I worry about this team in the next few years

 

[ponder719]

The Flyers should be selling at least Laughton and Ristolainen (if I had my druthers they'd be making far more drastic changes), but this team has a way of defying expectations in the dumbest way possible, so there's a non-zero chance they go all-in trying to make the second wild card instead.

Yeah the East is interesting. As a Columbus fan, I wonder what they're going to do. Haven't made the playoffs in a couple of years. You want to build a winning culture and give the young guys playoffs experience but at the same you have some trade assets. A few pieces that will probably get you mid to late round picks but then you have Olivier (currently trying to extend) and Provorov. I wonder if they buy(maybe non rentals), sell(get assets and feel good about the young guys in the minors to step in) , or just stay neutral (tell the team you have confidence in them. But losing at a chance at good assets).

Eddy is the physical 3rd pairing Dman.. they could bring in a bigger Dman to supplant Spence but that would mean they trade him. I would rather see them target Bjugstad

 

[Khelandros]

Montreal:

Hutson
Caufield
Suzuki
Evans
Matheson
Slafkovsky

 

[Captain Mountain]

The only real sellers at this point are the Sharks, Predators and Blackhawks. There will be more (especially in the East), but until more teams fall out of it, it will take a stupid overpay or a more "hockey trade" to make a deal.
