Canvassing the Trade Market

There are several good and expensive players scheduled to hit the unrestricted free agent market this summer. Under the new CBA and its lower cap ceiling, their current teams may not be able to afford them and could look to make deals before the trade deadline. Players on this list include Nicklas Backstrom (Minnesota), Alex Edler (Vancouver), Mike Smith (Phoenix),Joffrey Lupul (Toronto), Ryan Getzlaf (Anaheim), Corey Perry (Anaheim), Mike Ribeiro (Washington) and Jarome Iginla (Calgary).
