We are now just under 48 hours away from the NHL trade deadline and things are starting to heat up. The Anaheim Ducks have been the NHL’s hottest team since Christmas and many believe they are in the market for a top 6 winger while others believe GM Bob Murray may stand pat at the deadline.
Whether Murray makes a move or elects to keep things as are with this drastic turnaround still in effect, there are plenty of names out there on the open market right now.
I’ve broken down my trade targets into three categories:
- Pure rentals (UFA’s at seasons end)- With so many of their own RFA’s needing new deals this summer, Murray and the Ducks could look for a low cost rental to improve their forward depth.
