Some, such as Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Artemi Panarin, Ottawa Senators forwards Matt Duchene and Matt Stone, and Philadelphia Flyers winger Wayne Simmonds, are among the most likely to be moved. All are slated to become unrestricted free agents in July and could be shopped if they insist on testing the market
In recent weeks, however, other names have surfaced as potential trade candidates. While some could be on the move by deadline day, there are several who are probably staying put.
Artem Anisimov, Chicago Blackhawks
As the Blackhawks stumbled into the New Year, Anisimov was considered a possible trade chip.
