1. Claude Giroux

UPDATE:

Giroux has been the top name to be moved for a number of weeks now. With Giroux's 1,000th game played on Thursday in Philadelphia, it's now a matter of when, not if, the Flyers captain gets moved. The Panthers have been the to win the Giroux sweepstakes, but no deal has been announced yet with the Avalanche still in the mix for the veteran forward.

2. Hampus Lindholm

UPDATE:

An extension between the Ducks and Lindholm has been discu sed, but Friday morning, it was announced Lindholm as the Ducks work on a trade for him. The left-handed defenseman has become the new top target on the blue line.

3. Mark Giordano

UPDATE Ryan Pressly Jersey :

The veteran blueliner and the Kraken make sense to part ways, with Giordano in the final year of his contract. The Kraken are at the bottom of the standings and in need of draft capital. They'll ship him off to a contender in need of a left-handed defenseman with plenty of games under his belt.

4. Marc-Andre Fleury

UPDATE:

Any team in need of a goalie is checking in Andy Pettitte Jersey on Fleury. The three-time Stanley Cup winner is a pending free agent on a bad Chicago team. However, it will be whether he wants to get traded and where.

5. Jakob Chychrun

Chychrun is an outlier among the trade deadline targets. He still has four years left on his contract at a team-friendly .6 million AAV. But with the Coyotes in a rebuild, he's a prime candidate to ship off for prospects and draft picks. The Coyotes are in no rush to trade him and his recent injury has complicated things a bit, but if Arizona gets the right offer, he'll be moved. And as an elite, young defenseman on a bargain contract, there are multiple interested parties.

6. Rickard Rakell

One of the numerous pending free agents on the Ducks, Rakell's offense has diminished over the last couple of seasons. However, he's still a reliable top-9 option in a forward group and will come at a cheaper cost than others.

7. Phil Ke sel

Ke sel certainly isn't the player and scorer he once was, but he's still a dynamic playmaker. He's been producing on offense on a really bad Coyotes team and has plenty of playoff experience under his belt. Ke sel will be a cheaper rental given his age and cap hit.

8. J.T. Miller Jose Cruz Jersey

Similar to Chychrun, Miller is not a pending free agent and as a result, the Canucks are not in a rush to trade him, if they do at all. He's got another year on his contract at .35 million and considering he's a top-10 scorer this season, it's a very cheap deal. It will take a godfather offer for a team to get the Canucks to let go of Miller.

9. John Klingberg

Klingberg is the top right-handed defenseman available. These types of blueliners are rarer than their counterparts on the left side, so it may cost a bit more to get Klingberg. The Stars are in the playoff hunt, but currently on the outside looking in and have to decide if keeping him is beneficial for this season rather than trading him for value.

10. Jake DeBrusk

DeBrusk requested a trade from the Bruins in November, but he's still on Boston's roster. After a hot February, he has cooled down in March, so his value has Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey been spiking up and down. The Bruins are in a position to make a run at a Stanley Cup, but is DeBrusk a part of that plan? Even with his trade request?
