There have already been five first-round picks traded, and the NHL trade deadline fast approaching a few more could be on the move.
The Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars have been mentioned in the past few weeks to have their first-round picks in play. There are others, like the Boston Bruins, Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning, wished they had theirs and will need to get creative if they want to acquire any of the bigger names that are potentially available.
