<\/p>\n

\n

Following the blockbuster Quinn Hughes trade<\/a>, two players on Chris Johnston\u2019s trade board<\/a>, Phillip Danault<\/a> and Mason Marchment<\/a>, were traded on Friday, moments before the league\u2019s holiday roster freeze went into effect.<\/p>\n

Now, with the holiday freeze over in just a few hours (12:01 a.m. local time Sunday) and the trade deadline just over two months away, it\u2019s a good time to start thinking about which players make sense for different teams.<\/p>\n

Who should each club target from the list of possible candidates?<\/p>\n

The Athletic<\/em> asked its NHL staff to pick one target from the trade board for each team.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what they said.<\/p>\n\n

Anaheim Ducks<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek has history with both Steven Stamkos and Ondrej Palat from his days in the Tampa Bay Lightning front office, and while another winger with proven playoff production would give their lineup added heft, I think the smarter play right now would be to bet on the continued progression from within. If they were one step closer to serious Stanley Cup contention, then I think it would be worth it. \u2014 Eric Stephens <\/em><\/p>\n

Boston Bruins<\/h2>\n

Matias Maccelli<\/strong><\/p>\n

The left-shot winger would give the Bruins some offensive help in their top nine. He is also 25 years old, which fits the Bruins\u2019 cycle in terms of building for the future while going for a playoff spot. \u2014 Fluto Shinzawa<\/em><\/p>\n

Buffalo Sabres<\/h2>\n

Yegor Chinakhov<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sabres are a wild card on the trade market with new general manager Jarmo Kek\u00e4l\u00e4inen. Veterans such as Blake Coleman, Boone Jenner and Bryan Rust would be worthwhile targets. But Chinakhov feels more realistic, considering Kek\u00e4l\u00e4inen drafted him and the cost to acquire him would be lower. \u2014 Matthew Fairburn<\/em><\/p>\n

Calgary Flames<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Flames have a handful of players on CJ\u2019s trade board that should make them a seller come trade deadline day in March. And with no enticing star target between the ages of 18 and 23 that they\u2019d feel would help their rebuild\/retool on the board, the Flames shouldn\u2019t be looking to buy. \u2014 Julian McKenzie<\/em><\/p>\n

Carolina Hurricanes<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hurricanes look set on defense, and the forward options \u2014 particularly the centers that could be of the most use to Carolina \u2014 are all flawed. Whether it\u2019s the age, amount of term and contract remaining or the ability to keep up with the Hurricanes\u2019 pace, the top center options, including Nazem Kadri and Ryan O\u2019Reilly, have noticeable blemishes. Carolina won\u2019t be quiet \u2014 it has the cap space and desire to get better \u2014 but I don\u2019t think the fit resides in this list. \u2014 Cory Lavalette<\/em><\/p>\n

Chicago Blackhawks<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blackhawks weren\u2019t likely to be buyers at the trade deadline before their series of injuries, and they\u2019re definitely not going to be after all those. With Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar out, the Blackhawks\u2019 season is spiraling downward and they\u2019re likely back into the draft lottery discussion. Between a number of expiring contracts and a continued effort to build from within, the Blackhawks won\u2019t be acquiring anyone of note this season. \u2014 Scott Powers<\/em><\/p>\n

Colorado Avalanche<\/h2>\n

Ryan O\u2019Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a full-circle moment this would be. Not only would it bring O\u2019Reilly back to the place his career began, but he would also solidify the Avalanche down the middle of the ice, perhaps better than any other available player. Jack Drury and Ross Colton have been solid bottom-six centers, but O\u2019Reilly would give Jared Bednar another option to create matchup problems for the opposition in the playoffs and make the best team in the league even scarier. \u2014 Jesse Granger<\/em><\/p>\n

Columbus Blue Jackets<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

A week ago, Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell sent a second-round pick and a fourth-round pick to the Seattle Kraken for Mason Marchment, hoping to jolt his underperforming club. But he\u2019s got to be careful about committing too many resources to this current Blue Jackets club. The Eastern Conference has been a traffic jam, but it\u2019s starting to loosen and the Blue Jackets are the team falling behind. If there\u2019s a prospect that excites him \u2014 Brennan Othmann, Brad Lambert or perhaps Lukas Reichel \u2014 and the price is low, why not? But unless the Blue Jackets turn it around, and quickly, this season may be a lost cause. \u2014 Aaron Portzline<\/em><\/p>\n

Dallas Stars<\/h2>\n

Rasmus Andersson<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Stars\u2019 greatest need is on the right side of the blue line, where the drop-off after Miro Heiskanen is precipitous. Jim Nill is never shy about making big additions, so he\u2019ll go right to the top and take a look at Andersson, No. 1 on CJ\u2019s big board. There\u2019ll surely be competition for Andersson, so the offensive-minded Dougie Hamilton or defensive-minded Connor Murphy could be solid fallback options. \u2014 Mark Lazerus<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\n Justin Faulk would be a useful addition to the Red Wings\u2019 blue line. (Bruce Bennett \/ Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Detroit Red Wings<\/h2>\n

Justin Faulk<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Red Wings\u2019 biggest need is to deepen their blue line, where their third pair has been a liability. Justin Faulk is playing 23 minutes a night in St. Louis, and you wonder if the veteran could improve his territorial numbers in easier deployment. He\u2019s still productive, has an extra year on his contract (so he\u2019s not just a rental) and could provide more support for Albert Johansson. Plus, he would be a playoff-ready second-pair option, so Detroit can shelter Axel Sandin-Pellikka a bit if the Red Wings make the postseason. \u2014 Max Bultman<\/em><\/p>\n

Edmonton Oilers<\/h2>\n

Alex Tuch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuch is a big power winger with speed who can thrive with elite skill. The Oilers could use him on the top line with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman, allowing Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to center the third line. Tuch\u2019s size is ideal for the rigors of playoff hockey and Edmonton doesn\u2019t have that kind of presence on the roster currently. A perfect plug-and-play for the Oilers. \u2014 Allan Mitchell<\/em><\/p>\n

Florida Panthers<\/h2>\n

Alex Tuch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big, fast, physical and loves the hard areas of the ice: sounds like a Florida Panther. His reasonable cap hit would fit nicely into the Aleksander Barkov LTIR space and he can help improve a power play that\u2019s been struggling at times. Only question is, do they have the future assets to pull it off? \u2014 James Mirtle<\/em><\/p>\n

Los Angeles Kings<\/h2>\n

Alex Tuch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big and fast with skill, Tuch would be an immediate boost to the Kings\u2019 offense as a top-six right wing to go with leading scorer Adrian Kempe. The 29-year-old\u2019s $4.75 million cap number is extremely appealing. But Tuch, a pending UFA, would be a tricky acquisition as he\u2019s reportedly seeking a contract more lucrative than the eight-year, $85 million deal Kempe signed to stay in L.A. And the cost for him as a rental could be too prohibitive for the Kings, who don\u2019t have a ton of prized assets and are more than one piece away from legitimate Stanley Cup contention. \u2014 Eric Stephens<\/em><\/p>\n

Minnesota Wild<\/h2>\n

Ryan O\u2019Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n

It sure feels like the Wild are a center from true contender status and O\u2019Reilly could be the perfect fit. Perennially, the Wild are one of the NHL\u2019s worst faceoff teams, and they\u2019re tied for 28th this year. O\u2019Reilly\u2019s tremendous in the circle. The Wild also rank 25th on the penalty kill, an area he can help. He can score and he\u2019s incredibly disciplined, so he\u2019d fit in (the Wild have been short-handed second-fewest times in the NHL at 93). Plus, it\u2019d be a reacquisition technically, since the Wild were the middleman when it came to salary retention when O\u2019Reilly \u2014 the brother of former Iowa Wild captain Cal O\u2019Reilly \u2014 was originally traded from St. Louis to Toronto in 2023. \u2014 Michael Russo<\/em><\/p>\n

Montreal Canadiens<\/h2>\n

Blake Coleman<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Canadiens nabbed No. 9 on the list when they acquired center Phillip Danault from the Kings one hour before the holiday trade freeze, but they still have trade capital and Coleman plays a hard game, kills penalties, can pitch in on the power play and has Stanley Cup pedigree. But the real beauty is he has one year left on his contract after this one, same as Danault, Brendan Gallagher and Josh Anderson. By 2027-28, the Canadiens should be ready to truly hand the team over to their youngest players. Until then, players such as Coleman and Danault can help serve as a veteran bridge. \u2014 Arpon Basu<\/em><\/p>\n

Nashville Predators<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several Predators appear on the list, as it should be. And Preds general manager Barry Trotz should be ready to move at least a couple of those players and bolster the future of the franchise. He must not be swayed by the team\u2019s recent resurgence, which has put the Preds in the range of a playoff spot and lifted them from the cellar. If he is swayed by that, mediocrity is officially the ceiling on his watch. And new minority owner Nick Saban can\u2019t like that! \u2014 Joe Rexrode<\/em><\/p>\n

New Jersey Devils<\/h2>\n

Ryan O\u2019Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n

O\u2019Reilly would have been a capable second-line center when Jack Hughes was out, and now he\u2019d be able to slot in as a perfect third-line center. He can play a responsible two-way game and has shown he contributes to winning. He might not be the Conn Smythe winner he was in 2019, but he\u2019s more than capable of helping the Devils. \u2014 Peter Baugh<\/em><\/p>\n

New York Islanders<\/h2>\n

Yegor Chinakhov<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Islanders may be exceeding expectations, but the big picture still has to stay in focus. This is a retool, so management should not be buying for a playoff run. But there may be up-and-coming players whose timelines align with the Islanders\u2019 plans. So someone such as Chinakov should be on their radar \u2014 he would fit in with the team\u2019s rush-based style this season, and has the offensive ability to add another scoring punch to the middle six. \u2014 Shayna Goldman<\/em><\/p>\n

New York Rangers<\/h2>\n

Yegor Chinakhov<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an obvious connection to make with Bryan Rust, a favorite of Rangers coach Mike Sullivan from their time together in Pittsburgh, but a 33-year-old winger isn\u2019t ideal for a team that already relies too heavily on 32-and-up forwards. Tuch would be intriguing, as well, but the acquisition cost will be high and general manager Chris Drury has burned too many assets on rentals in recent years. New York should be targeting young players with scoring upside, speed and years left of team control. Chinakhov is a bit of a reclamation project, but at least he checks all of those boxes. \u2014 Vincent Z. Mercogliano<\/em><\/p>\n

Ottawa Senators<\/h2>\n

Rasmus Andersson<\/strong><\/p>\n

If it were up to me, I\u2019d call Craig Conroy and try to sell him on the idea of landing Andersson. An all-situations defenseman who seems healthier after some previous seasons battling injury. His snarl and ruggedness would fit perfectly on a Senators team seeking to be tougher to play against. The biggest hurdle is figuring out whether or not the Senators are on Andersson\u2019s no-trade list and if the Sens have the assets to make a move work. \u2014 Julian McKenzie<\/em><\/p>\n

Philadelphia Flyers<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Flyers are seeking a depth center, but I\u2019m not sure any of these guys on the list would or should be targets. O\u2019Reilly or Brayden Schenn would give the Flyers a huge boost, but I doubt that they\u2019re going to be willing to part with the sort of future assets necessary to make that deal. Perhaps Alexander Wennberg is a player who could be traded out of San Jose, but I could also see the Sharks keeping him around if they remain in the playoff race. \u2014 Kevin Kurz<\/em><\/p>\n

Pittsburgh Penguins<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNo one\u201d isn\u2019t the most enticing answer, but I think it\u2019s prudent for the Penguins. I don\u2019t particularly think they\u2019re in a spot where adding anyone makes sense. They probably aren\u2019t a playoff team, and if they do pull off a surprise and make it to the postseason, it will be because some of their talented young players in the system \u2014 such as Sergei Murashov and Tristan Broz \u2014 are recalled and make a real difference, as opposed to giving up an asset for short-term gratification. \u2014 Josh Yohe<\/em><\/p>\n

San Jose Sharks<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

An elite No. 1 defenseman such as Quinn Hughes would have been ideal for the Sharks, but many other teams could desire that. A blue-line upgrade or a true No. 2 center would be more pressing needs, but filling those would be more prudent if San Jose were a year or two further into a build where the full payoff could come in 2027 or 2028. You could look at a Brandon Carlo on defense, but there\u2019s no point in blocking Michael Misa with any one of Nazem Kadri, Ryan O\u2019Reilly, Brayden Schenn or Boone Jenner right now. Those are endgame pieces. \u2014 Eric Stephens<\/em><\/p>\n

Seattle Kraken<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kraken are fading quickly, and that\u2019s not a surprise to anybody who\u2019s watched them. While there\u2019s some intriguing talent in Seattle, this is a club utterly devoid of elite talent. They should be selling, tanking and crossing their fingers that they can get a top-three pick at the 2026 draft. A superstar winger is what the Kraken need, of the caliber that is only available at the top of the draft order. \u2014 Thomas Drance<\/em><\/p>\n

St. Louis Blues<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

CJ\u2019s trade board is full of Blues, so the options are limited. Of the 32 players, the Blues have Justin Faulk at No. 7, Jordan Binnington at No. 8 and Brayden Schenn at No. 13. After that, there are some good names on the list, but the Blues just aren\u2019t in a position where many of them make much sense. If anybody, they should make a deal for Blues killer Kiefer Sherwood (seven goals, five assists against St. Louis in 12 career games), or Nazem Kadri, so that Binnington can throw water bottles at him in the locker room. \u2014 Jeremy Rutherford <\/em><\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Lightning<\/h2>\n

Rasmus Andersson<\/strong><\/p>\n

J.J. Moser has absolutely thrived in Victor Hedman\u2019s absence, and a shift back to his natural side, the left, may be a big reason for that. So maybe the Lightning should consider adding a right-handed defenseman to play with Hedman, so Moser and Darren Raddysh can stay together and cook on the third pair? Right-handed defensemen are not cheap on the trade market, so this is going to be tricky for a team without a ton of trade assets. But his reasonable cap hit and his overall step back this season could work in Tampa Bay\u2019s favor. \u2014 Shayna Goldman<\/em><\/p>\n

Toronto Maple Leafs<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going off board here to former Leaf Michael Bunting. Unlike some of the other names on CJ\u2019s board who would absolutely help the Leafs, Bunting shouldn\u2019t cost much (for a team that doesn\u2019t have much to trade), and his contract expires after the season. The other thing: He has a past connection with Auston Matthews and could slip right back into top-line duties with the Leafs. He would also bring his hometown team some much-needed spunk and pushback. \u2014 Jonas Siegel<\/em><\/p>\n

Utah Mammoth<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Barrett Hayton struggling and Logan Cooley injured, the dream scenario would be Utah landing a top-six center. The problem is true second-line centers are scarcely available on the trade market and exorbitantly expensive to acquire. While Nazem Kadri, for example, would be a sweet short-term fit, his age (35) and the steep acquisition cost to lure him from Calgary don\u2019t align with the Mammoth\u2019s timeline, especially with how stacked the Central Division already is. \u2014 Harman Dayal<\/em><\/p>\n

Vancouver Canucks<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Canucks can\u2019t overreact to an uptick in form and results since executing the Quinn Hughes trade. This is a team that\u2019s years away from competing in any relevant fashion in the NHL and needs to fundamentally rebuild its forward group and reimagine its overall priorities and team-building approach. Vancouver, in other words, needs to sell. It needs to sell aggressively. And target draft picks and futures in return, not NHL players. If trading Hughes \u2014 and his reluctance to remain in Vancouver \u2014 isn\u2019t a wake-up call for this franchise, nothing ever will be. \u2014 Thomas Drance<\/em><\/p>\n

\n Kiefer Sherwood would be an excellent addition to the Golden Knights. (Andrew Mordzynski \/ Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Vegas Golden Knights<\/h2>\n

Kiefer Sherwood<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not expecting a blockbuster deal out of the Golden Knights this deadline, but Kiefer Sherwood would be an excellent addition. He does a lot of things Vegas desperately needs out of its wingers at the moment. He\u2019s big, strong, good on the forecheck and drives the front of the net. For all of the playmakers the Golden Knights have up front, they could use some brute force. Sherwood has all of that, plus the ability to score. \u2014 Jesse Granger<\/em><\/p>\n

Washington Capitals<\/h2>\n

Ryan O\u2019Reilly<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any top-nine center would make sense for the Caps, especially with Pierre Luc-Dubois on the shelf for a couple more months, but O\u2019Reilly seems like a particularly good fit. His offensive output (2.71 points per 60, 73-point pace) has rebounded after last season\u2019s dip, and his plus-3.0 Defensive Rating is second overall among centers. That kind of two-way substance would fit right in with Washington. \u2014 Sean Gentille<\/em><\/p>\n

Winnipeg Jets<\/h2>\n

No one<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winnipeg is six points out of the playoffs, with six teams to pass. Which is possible with Connor Hellebuyck, but not worth betting on in the form of large trade assets. The Jets\u2019 first-round pick sits fourth overall. Their second-round pick would be in the top 40 if they hadn\u2019t traded it in a package for Luke Schenn. They need to be recouping assets, not moving them, and that means shopping pending UFAs Schenn, Gustav Nyquist, Tanner Pearson and Jonathan Toews to playoff-bound teams. Winnipeg bet and missed, and it will hurt less if the picks it recoups are gathered and moved later, for future Jets. \u2014 Murat Ates<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
