The dog days of NHL summer are winding down.
Which means it's time to ramp up speculation about who is still (potentially) destined to be traded before fall is in full swing.
Because unless you're Kyle Dubas giving the Pittsburgh Penguins a significant facelift -- that three-team Erik Karlsson swap was a nifty piece of business -- most general managers have been low-key enjoying the post-July 1 holidays without running up their respective phone bills gauging the trade market.
Or we can only assume that's the case given the lack of movement over these past two months and the selection of tantalizingly trade-eligible players just begging to be moved.
