Greer becomes a popular target around the league.

Big Stipulation If Canucks Trade Pettersson
It's anyone's guess exactly what the Vancouver Canucks are doing with their franchise. They have plenty of core pieces locked in, but traded Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood for some solid assets. This is a team that could clear out some space ahead of the deadline and retool in the offseason, or just tear it all down. Elias Pettersson seems to be the deciding factor on that decision. It's not the easiest to move him as his cap hit is $11.6 million AAV. And David Pagnotta said, "Vancouver's no...
Colorado Avalanche Trying to Acquire Nashville Predators' Ryan O'Reilly
The Colorado Avalanche moved Samuel Girard and a second-round pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for veteran defenceman Brett Kulak, and while it may have been a significant deal, it's the aftermath that everyone is talking about.

Canucks Trade Rumors: 3 Teams Linked to Evander Kane

The Vancouver Canucks appear to be shifting their position on Conor Garland as the NHL trade deadline approaches, indicating an interesting change in direction as the organization leans further into a rebuild.

Now, CHEK TV’s Rick Dhaliwal reports the tone has changed, and the Canucks are no longer opposed to dealing the veteran winger if the righ...

NHLTR Mock Trade: St. Louis Blues trade Jordan Binnington to Montreal Canadiens
The Montreal Canadiens are looking for a veteran goaltender who has Stanley Cup Playoff experience, and currently on the trade market, there's no better option than St. Louis Blues netminder Jordan Binnington.

Carolina Hurricanes & Nashville Predators Emerging as Trade Partners
The Ryan O'Reilly sweepstakes are running rampant at the moment, as the Nashville Predators are listening to trade offers on their veteran, two-way center. O'Reilly has had a great season, scoring 56 points, leading Nashville, and with their playoff chances slim, don't be surprised to see the Predators move their best trade asset.

Flames Rumor: Nazem Kadri Trade ‘Inevitable’ After Latest Comments
Nazem Kadri admitted to the media this week that he has had discussions with Calgary Flames management about his future. And though he added that "I'll keep (it) private", you could say that another answer he gave sort of tipped his hand.

I'm not a ‘one foot out the door’ kind of guy, wher...
3 Pittsburgh Penguins Trade Candidates Heading Into Deadline
