NHL trade rumors: Latest news, buzz on deals as deadline nears

Catch up with the latest trade news and rumors as the NHL trade deadline approaches.

The NHL trade market was busy this weekend ahead of Monday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline, but there are still plenty of potential deals to be made.

Hurricanes captain Eric Staal was perhaps the biggest name to move this weekend, going to the Rangers in exchange for prospect Aleksi Saarela and two second-round picks. The Canes also sent Kris Versteeg to the Kings.

The Panthers made three deals on Saturday, bringing in Jiri Hudler, Jakub Kindl and Teddy Purcell, while the Sharks added goalie James Reimer from the Maple Leafs.

The latest on Jonathan Drouin

At this point, it looks like it will be tough for the #Sens and #Bolts to find a fit on Jonathan Drouin. Could always change. #TradeCentre

It's believed as many as 10-to-12 teams have shown interest in Drouin so Steve Yzerman is going to have options tomorrow. #TradeCentre

Sabres had been in regular contact with Lightning regarding Jonathan Drouin, but other teams have moved to forefront of talks in recent days

I'm told Yzerman was asking for a right shot D as part of any Drouin deal. https://t.co/DDEEEJ1q0K

If Drouin is traded, TB will have to get a piece that helps them this season and a significant prospect for the future. Maybe a pick, too?

Islanders not willing to pay top price

Here's my sense of #Isles right now: GS is talking to everyone, as he usually does. Not gonna deal his 1st and/or top prospect for rental...

Senators want a forward

The #Sens will make a push for a forward tomorrow but ideally not in the rental category.

Isles also interested in Mikkel Boedker

Also hearing Mikkel Boedkers name linked to @NYIslanders today......stay tuned on this one. Boedker is only 26 and making a reasonable 3.75

some pieces Columbus may be asking for if they move Scott Hartnell to Nasvhille: Kevin Fiala or Viktor Arviddson or picks
