2016 NHL Trade Deadline: Could Tomas Fleischmann help a playoff-bound team?

While not mentioned directly in any sort of rumour, Tomas Fleischmann is the exact kind of player that is moved at the trade deadline every year. He's a solid depth addition to most lineups, and has a very cap-friendly, expiring contract this season.

Let's be clear; Fleischmann is not the same forward that once racked up 27 goals in a season, but he still has many of the same tools that make him an appealing option for teams looking to solidify their bottom six heading into the postseason. In 55 games this year with the Habs, he's registered a respectable nine goals and 10 assists, all while being bounced around the lineup by Michel Therrien.
