With the 2019 NHL Trade Deadline set for Feb. 25, NHL.com has identified players to consider targeting in fantasy trades or on the waiver wire before potential moves happen in reality.
Players who play for non-contending teams, have expiring contracts after this or next season and/or have underachieved based on preseason expectations have been included on this list.
NOTE: Defenseman Erik Karlsson, a potential 2019 unrestricted free agent, and left wing Taylor Hall, a potential 2020 UFA, are examples of elite players unlikely to be traded before the deadline who have been excluded from this list. Yahoo ownership is as of Monday, Jan. 28.
