It's never too early to talk trade candidates in the NHL. That's especially true this season, which has already seen a handful of significant moves:
The New York Rangers traded captain Jacob Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks.
Promising defenseman David Jiricek was sent from the Columbus Blue Jackets to the Minnesota Wild.
The Toronto Maple Leafs sent defenseman Timothy Liljegren to the San Jose Sharks.
The Colorado Avalanche revamped their entire goaltending by sending Justus Annunen to the Nashville Predators for Scott Wedgewood, and then Alexandar Georgiev to the Sharks for Mackenzie Blackwood.
