It's About To Get Very Busy

from Craig Custance and Dom Luszczyszyn of The Athletic,

This NHL offseason went from 0-60 in warp speed. First, there was the long-ruminated Duncan Keith trade. Fine. That one was telegraphed. The Ryan Suter and Zach Parise buyouts? Now, we’re getting somewhere and it’s only going to pick up from there.

“There’s going to be a lot of activity,” predicted an Eastern Conference executive on Wednesday. “I think there’s going to be a lot of upheaval around the entire league.”

The offseason is certainly in motion. It was already going to be a wild one because we have an expansion draft. Now, mix in teams up against the cap, others trying to mitigate financial losses, some under pressure to win and it’s all teed up for those on Team Chaos.

“Now, it’s really heating up,” said a Western Conference executive on Tuesday. “A lot of phone calls. A lot of balls in the air.”

With that, we roll out our 2021 summer edition of the Trade Big Board, tweaked slightly because of how much we liked the format done by our baseball group. We’re breaking it up by position. We’re adding in trade probabilities, comparables and analytics with all the usual anonymous executive assessments still completely intact.

continued (paid), Eichel, Tarasenko and Kuznetsov top the list...
