11 NHL players likely to be dealt before the trade deadline

Phoenix Coyotes v Edmonton Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers

Yep, it’s safe to assume that basically any player on the Edmonton Oilers roster could be had for the right price. At this point, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins appears to be the only untouchable. If any player is to be dealt before the deadline, forward Nail Yakupov appears to be the most likely candidate, with the Penguins reportedly at least inquiring about the asking price. The Bruins have been linked to forward Taylor Hall, but this scenario is more likely to happen during the offseason – particularly if Boston fails to make a postseason appearance. Goaltender Viktor Fasth is also a UFA at the end of the season and could attract some attention for a team looking to add depth in net.
