Frank Seravalli of Bardown.com: Destinations expects for some of the top trade deadline targets can be arbitrary but plausible.
The hold up in most deals lies in the fact that Mark Stone and Artemi Panarin are tied together. Unfortunately, with days until the trade deadline, that fact remains. Expect posturing to continue into the weekend possibly. Boston, Nashville, Tampa Bay, and Winnipeg linked to the two players is not surprising.
Meanwhile, Wayne Simmonds draws interest from Boston, Nashville, and Tampa Bay.
Furthermore, the same teams are in on the same players.
