Calgary Flames – The Flames are in the middle of a rebuild, and now it is time for a rebuild retool. Hudler and Russell are the most likely to go, but Jones just may be a secret pick-up for a contending team.
Jiri Hudler
Kris Russell
Jonas Hiller
David Jones
Carolina Hurricanes – Obviously Staal is the big fish available in Carolina. The problem is the Hurricanes are tedering on making the playoffs. Management in Carolina just may stay pat and make a run at the playoffs.
Eric Staal
Cam Ward
John-Michael Liles
Nathan Gerbe
Columbus Blue Jackets – The Blue Jackets are stuck in a slow rebuild. They will sell but the problem is they do not have many assets to sell.
Kerby Rychel
Rene Bourque
Edmonton Oilers – The Oilers are in the longest rebuild in history. History of all professional sports. The Oilers need defense bad, and they are willing to give up some talent on center to get it.
Ryan-Nugent Hopkins
Jordan Eberle
Teddy Purcell
Justin Schultz
Nail Yakupov
Montreal Canadiens – The Canadiens season has been such a mess that they just might trade anyone other than Carey Price. The team is in shambles and offense is at the top of their needs list.
Lars Eller
Alex Galchenyuk
Dale Weise
Tom Gilbert
Andrei Markov
Philadelphia Flyers – I am not really sure that I would consider the Flyers as strong sellers. This year has been a learning year under new head coach Dave Hakstol. Cap issues and lack of offense have held the Flyers back. The positive is they have a excess of young defenseman prospects, and that is a great problem to have.

Vancouver Canucks – The Canucks have finally hit the point in which management is starting to believe it is time to get younger. That being said, it is time to move some assets for draft picks. Lots of players could be on the move in Vancouver.

Winnipeg Jets – The Jets had high hopes at the beginning of the season. Things just have not worked out this season. Dustin Byfuglien is now signed, and Andrew Ladd has been moved. This is a young team on the rise, and they are now looking for more young talent.
Matt Halischuk
Grant Clitsome
Adam Pardy
Ondrej Pavelec
Buffalo Sabres – The Sabres continue to look for good young talent. Another high draft pick this year will help the rebuild, but limited assets at deadline could be a problem. They do have a few players that may draw interest.
