With the NHL trade deadline approaching, teams are re-evaluating their rosters, which could significantly affect Fantasy Hockey leagues. The Locked On Fantasy Hockey podcast discusses the top trade bait targets that could provide big fantasy value, including Yanni Gourde, a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Tampa Bay Lightning, who has been a solid yet underutilized player for the Seattle Kraken. Gourde's physical play and playoff experience make him an intriguing option for contending teams looking for depth. Meanwhile, Bowen Byram of the Colorado Avalanche is highlighted for his potential upside if traded, although there are concerns regarding his current situation with the Buffalo Sabers.

Attention is also drawn to the Winnipeg Jets, particularly goalie Connor Hellebuyck. Hellebuyck's impressive performance, including his recent milestone of reaching 300 wins faster than legends like Martin Brodeur, positions him as one of the best fantasy goalies in the league. His statistics speak volumes, as he leads in multiple categories this season, making him a cornerstone for fantasy managers. The podcast wraps up with insights on other players like Dylan Cousins and Josh Morrissey who may also see a change of scenery and subsequent boosts in their fantasy value.
