The NHL trade market for veteran defensemen is heating up, especially following the recent trade of Cam Fowler. Several players are likely to be on the move before the March 7 trade deadline.
Rasmus Andersson of the Calgary Flames is a prime candidate, as the team looks to reshape its roster. With a manageable contract and considerable ice time, he could bring a significant return.
Ivan Provorov of the Columbus Blue Jackets is also expected to be traded, given his expiring contract and consistent performance.
Mike Matheson of the Montreal Canadiens might be less likely to move, but he would attract interest if available. Lastly, Mario Ferraro of the San Jose Sharks is another player to watch, as the Sharks continue their rebuild.
