Movement On The Trade Bait Board
from TSN,
Philadelphia centre Claude Giroux moves up from second last week and is widely expected to be traded after playing his 1,000th NHL game with the Flyers Thursday at home versus Nashville.
Among the most motivated buyers for Giroux’s services are the Florida Panthers and Colorado Avalanche.
Contract negotiations continue between Lindholm and Anaheim, but as long as Lindholm remains unsigned, he is a prime target for Stanley Cup-contending teams who need a stud defenceman.
Which is to say virtually every team with legitimate championship aspirations.
Boston and Florida, again, come to mind immediately as teams that would love to have the 6-foot-4 left defenceman who rises from No. 14.
After four weeks at No. 1, Arizona left defenceman Jakob Chychrun drops to No. 3, but only because he suffered a lower-body injury in a game against Boston on Saturday. Just how long he will be sidelined is unclear.
Chychrun had 5 goals and 10 points in six games before the injury.
