They Could Be Traded

from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,

Here are the top 10 players whose names have surfaced in trade rumors:

1. Center Matt Duchene, Colorado Avalanche: The Avalanche, looking to shake up their roster, are expected to move Duchene to start the progress.

Teams started making offers during this past season, but general manager Joe Sakic wisely opted to wait until the offseason when more teams could make offers.

This is not a fire sale. The Avalanche want a prize young defenseman, at least two other prospects and possibly a first-round pick for Duchene, who, at 26, is a five-time 20-plus goal scorer.

2. Defenseman Jonas Brodin, Minnesota Wild: It makes more sense to deal Brodin, instead of lose him in the expansion draft.

Some speculation has the Wild keeping Brodin and trading Matt Dumba. The Wild could get more for Dumba, who has more offensive gifts. But that’s also why the Wild should keep Dumba over Brodin.
