The NHL Trade Deadline is a crucial period characterized by player movement and inflated trade values. Players like Pius Suter and Mario Ferraro have emerged as hot commodities, but the question remains: can they elevate their game on a competitive roster? Scott Laughton is also generating interest due to improved metrics, though his consistency is in question. The Calgary Flames face a decision regarding Dan Vladar, who, despite a recent uptick in performance, has troubling stats that may hinder his trade value.

Additionally, the Vancouver Canucks are not done making moves as they assess their roster ahead of their game against Minnesota. There are rumors surrounding star player Elias Pettersson, but trading him now might not yield the best return. With several players, including Brock Boeser and Derek Forbort, potentially on the move, the Canucks strategize for future gains.
