The excitement surrounding NHL trade deadline is palpable as GMs zero in on potential trade targets that could enhance their rosters. Braden Schenn of the St. Louis Blues emerges as a notable figure, with contenders like the Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers eyeing his blend of experience and versatility. Despite a dip in his performance, his physicality—evidenced by 142 hits this season—still makes him a valuable asset, especially for Banger leagues.

Seth Jones of the Chicago Blackhawks also garners attention, boasting decent offensive numbers with 24 points in 36 games. His hefty contract of $9.5 million makes him a risky but potentially rewarding trade option if he lands on a stronger team. Meanwhile, Ricard Raquel from the Pittsburgh Penguins could be a key piece in a fire sale as the Penguins navigate a challenging season. His strong performance alongside Sidney Crosby enhances his value.
