Each offseason, Frank Seravalli of TSN puts together a trade board of players he feels could be potentially on the move. With the Stanley Cup playoffs creeping towards the conference finals and a full blown offseason not far behind, Seravalli revealed his first “Trade Bait” list as the calendar flipped to September.
Servalli’s list is always a good representation of players either on the move, or at least in discussion, “bait” as he aptly calls it. Last year in his initial off-season list in mid-May he had 15 players named. Over half (8/15) of the group, including Phil Kessel and Olli Maatta, were traded in the offseason.
