Dan Rosen of NHL.com (mailbag): The division features a close race to determine the last playoff spots. One of the players most likely to be dealt is Jean-Gabriel Pageau of the Ottawa Senators. Ottawa may try to re-sign him in the off-season. However, there exists so much value now. Does Lou Lamoriello pull the trigger here?
Detroit has Andreas Athanasiou but little else that may be appealing other than for a lower pick or prospect perhaps. Even Athanasiou does not have the value he once did. After that, New Jersey moving Wayne Simmonds and Sami Vatanen would not surprise anyone.
