Scouting the Canucks and Islanders on Tuesday
Jeff Paterson: Scouts noted to participate in Tuesday’s video game in between the Vancouver Canucks and New York Islanders were the New Jersey Devils, Carolina Hurricanes, Winnipeg Jets and Detroit Red Wings.
Trades aren’t simple, however …
Jim Matheson: “I know it’s very hard to make trades in today’s NHL but Oiler GM Ken Holland has to be thinking of making something happen NOW doesn’t he what with his team’s malaise, something to perhaps get his players’ attention? We know they’re missing Evander Kane‘s on-ice fire, but…”
Top trade targets
Frank Servalli of Daily Faceoff:
1. Bo Horvat— Canucks– Pending UFA, $5.5 million AAV
2. Jakob Chychrun— Coyotes– 2 even more periods, $4.6 million AAV
3. Patrick Kane— Blackhawks– Pending UFA, $10.5 million AAV
4. Timo Meier— Sharks– Pending RFA, $6 million AAV (Due $10 million Qualifying Offer)
5. Jonathan Toews— Blackhawks– Pending UFA, $10.5 million AAV
6. John Klingberg— Ducks– Pending UFA, $7 million AAV
7. Mattias Ekholm— Predators– 3 even more periods, $6.25 million AAV
The Predators have some costly long-lasting agreements and they’re most likely not making the playoffs. Have been informed that Ekholm, that does not have any type of trade security, and a couple of others can be offered. Maybe Ryan McDonagh can be asked to forgo his no-trade once again.
8. Anthony Duclair— Panthers– 1 even more period, $3 million AAV
9. Vladislav Gavrikov— Blue Jackets– Pending UFA, $2.8 million AAV
10. Erik Karlsson— Sharks– 4 even more periods, $11.5 million AAV
11. Shayne Gostisbehere— Coyotes– Pending UFA, $4.5 million AAV
12. Ryan O’Reilly— Blues– Pending UFA, $7.5 million AAV
