Mike Green
Green has two goals and six assists while blocking 56 shots. He could be useful to a young contending team looking for a veteran defenseman. The Avalanche could use Green.
Wayne Simmonds
Simmonds, a gritty player, has five goals, 14 assists and 115 hits. The Leafs would benefit from a player like Simmonds.
Blake Coleman
Coleman is under contract next season at a cap hit of $1.8 million but the Devils may look to sell high on him. Coleman has 19 goals and 10 assists on 164 shots (11.6 shooting percentage).
Andy Greene
The Devils captain has a goal, eight assists and surprisingly doesn't have a bad +/- rating (-1) on a bad Devils team. He would be a good fit for a team in need of a veteran defenseman and is a free agent at the end of the season. [image source: Lisa Gansky- Flickr]
Sami Vatanen
Vatanen has 23 points (five goals and 18 assists) with 10 of those points coming on the power play. He also has blocked 80 shots.
Louis Domingue
Domingue's numbers with the Devils this year aren't great but he did have better numbers last year when he played on a much better Lightning team. He could be a good backup option for a contender.
Vladislav Namestnikov
Namestnikov, who was traded earlier this year to the Senators from the Rangers, has 11 goals and assists in 48 games with Ottawa. A free agent at the end of the season, the Senators may opt to keep him and hope to extend him to be part of their future core. [image source: Senators- YouTube]
Jean-Gabriel Pageau
Pageau is having a fantastic season, posting 20 goals, 13 assists, a rating of +11, and 100 hits. Instead of trading him, the Senators may keep and try to extend him. [image source: Michael Miller]
Mark Borowiecki
Borowiecki is a gritty defenseman who has racked up 18 points (seven goals and 11 assists) along with an astonishing 186 hits. The Leafs would benefit from using him for the remainder of the season.
Dylan DeMelo
DeMelo has yet to score a goal this season but has been great on defense. He could be used as defensive depth for a contender. [image source: Senators- YouTube]
Craig Anderson
Anderson has seven wins this season with a 3.19 GAA and a .901 save percentage. He wouldn't be a bad option for a contending team in need of a rental backup goalie.
Connor Sheary
Sheary, who has seven goals and nine assists, would be a decent option for a contending teams fourth line. A benefit that comes with getting Sheary is that he stays on the ice as he's only spent eight minutes in the penalty box this season.
Chris Kreider
Kreider will be the most wanted man at the deadline as he's the best player available on the trade market. He has 18 goals, 17 assists with 11 power play points, and a shooting percentage of 14.6 percent.
Jesper Fast
Fast has eight goals, 14 assists, and 90 hits. [image source: Lisa Gasnky]
Alexander Georgiev
Georgiev is a promising young goalie, but the Rangers are looking to trade him as they have too many goalies and Georgiev is out of minor league options. This season he has 12 wins, a goals against average of 3.12, and a save percentage of .909.
Ilya Kovalchuk
Since coming to Montreal, Kovalchuk has found his groove, picking up 10 points in 13 games. The Habs are rumored to be seeking a high draft pick in return.
