The NHL trade deadline is still more than a week away (February 24), but the market is already beginning to heat up.
There should be no shortage of buyers in the pre-deadline market this year. According to The Athletic's simulation model, 16 teams have a 65 percent chance of making the postseason or better, and several more are firmly in the playoff picture.
This suggests that this year's deadline could create a seller's market.

One team that could be on the buyer's side of the market is the Vancouver Canucks.
