from the CP at the Toronto Sun,
Player movement could be fast and furious this week as general managers meet in Las Vegas and then full staffs convene in South Florida for the NHL draft. Here are the 10 players most likely to be traded before the start of free agency July 1:
PIERRE-ALEXANDRE PARENTEAU
In and out of favour with Montreal Canadiens coach Michel Therrien, the goal-scoring winger is a potential low-risk high-reward acquisition. Parenteau is 32 but has just a year left at a cap hit of $4 million and fits better in a top-six or top-nine role where he can play with a distributing centre.
Possible destination: New Jersey Devils, Nashville Predators
NICKLAS GROSSMANN
In salary-cap hell, the Philadelphia Flyers would love to shed a few contracts on the blue line to make room for younger players to get NHL experience and for Russian Evgeni Medvedev. The big, shot-blocking Grossmann is the easiest defenceman in that category with a year left at a cap hit of $3.5 million.
Possible destinations: Edmonton Oilers, Buffalo Sabres
