Besides Calgary, which Frank Seravalli of TSN discusses in the article ...

Which other teams could potentially be looking for help? The market is not huge.

Philadelphia: Finally, the Flyers seem to have a long-term answer in 20-year-old wunderkind Carter Hart. They will need to find a veteran presence to support him, and summer training partner Cam Talbot from the Oilers could fit the bill. The Flyers have reportedly held preliminary discussions with Edmonton about the possibility.

Columbus: The Blue Jackets will have a need if they trade two-time Vezina Trophy winner Sergei Bobrovsky.

Colorado: The Avalanche’s season has cratered around goaltending. Since Dec. 4, pending UFA Semyon Varlamov has an .875 save percentage and his heir, Philipp Grubauer, has been equally as bad at .878.

Carolina: The Hurricanes haven’t made the playoffs since 2009 and they’re just one point out now. They’ve hung in the race despite below-average numbers from two netminders in 2019 – Curtis McElhinney (.902) and Petr Mrazek (.892) – both of whom do not have a contract for next season.

Florida: The Panthers appear to have their sights set on Bobrovsky – if not now, then in free agency.

The Trade Bait:

Jimmy Howard, Detroit (No. 9 on the latest Trade Bait board): Howard has been excellent this season with a .914 mark for the 29th-place Wings. Detroit has flirted with the idea of re-signing Howard, 34, but GM Ken Holland is expected to move Howard for the right price. Holland is believed to be seeking a first-round pick, but without a big market as explained above, the final sale price could well be a second-rounder.
