Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are among players who could be dealt before the NHL trade deadline

Sportsnet did everyone a favor by writing an article highlighting the top 20 players that are, or soon will be, in NHL trade rumors.

You know the names. John Klingberg. Jonathan Toews. Ryan O’Reilly. Jakob Chychrun. Timo Meier. Etc. Maybe at some point we will grow weary of reading about their potential landing spots.

But with seven weeks left before the trade deadline, it’s an interesting read to see the available players stacked up like canned vegetables in a grocery aisle.

If your team needs a center, defenseman and winger, they are all there. Fun read.

Red Wings In Case You Missed It

Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi will be back in the Red Wings’ lineup tonight. He will play with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.

Elmer Soderblom is sent to Grand Rapids to make room for Bertuzzi on the roster.

Bob Duff writes that the Anthony Mantha-for-Jakub Vrana swap no longer seems like a blockbuster trade.

Red Wings’ Next Game

The Red Wings (16-15-7) are home tonight to play the surging Winnipeg Jets (25-13-1). The Jets own a five-game winning streak and are second in the Western Conference with a +26 goal differential.
