The Panthers brought Kiselevich over from the KHL in June of last year on a one year contract looking for defensive depth. After averaging less than 15 minutes a night, he owns 8 points in 31 games. For teams looking to bolster their blueline, Kiselevich could be a solid third-line upgrade.<\/p>\n<h2>Florida Panthers &#8211; Pysyk<\/h2>\n<p><em>Rumour:\u00a0<\/em><em>Also, Elliotte Friedman noted that Florida is willing to move <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/pysykma01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mark Pysyk<\/a><\/strong> in his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/hockey\/nhl\/31-thoughts-buyers-sellers-emerging-ahead-nhl-trade-deadline\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">31 Thoughts<\/a> article on Wednesday.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Analysis:\u00a0<\/em>Pysyk&#8217;s season has been disappointing. The Panthers season overall has been underwhelming, though. You can bet the team is looking to move out some pieces while they can still get something in return. Pysyk&#8217;s got one year left in his contract at $2.73 million, although his actual salary is $800,000 higher than that. It would be in the Panthers best interest to move him while he still has value for them.<\/p>\n<h2>New York Rangers<\/h2>\n<p><em>Rumour: ESPN.com states in the sites NHL <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/nhl\/story\/_\/id\/25769640\/nhl-trade-deadline-preview-possible-moves-watch-all-31-teams\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trade deadline preview<\/a> that the Rangers are looking to move winger <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/z\/zuccama01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mats Zuccarello<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Analysis:<\/em> The Rangers are in the midst of a rebuild. Mats Zuccarello has an expiring contract, and his production has faltered this season. Thus, the move seems almost inevitable. If the Rangers opt to trade Zuccarello, he could fetch them a middle round draft pick and possibly a prospect if they play their cards right.<\/p>\n<p>Reports are floating around that the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/oilers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Edmonton Oilers<\/a> have inquired about him in their search for scoring depth. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/stars\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dallas Stars<\/a> are another potential landing spot for Zuccarello. The Stars need to make some upgrades if they hope to keep heading toward that playoff hill that <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/seguity01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyler Seguin<\/a><\/strong> is pulling them up. He could be a bargain for Dallas, as they&#8217;re working with limited cap space (less than $4 million, as projected by Cap Friendly at the trade deadline.)<\/p>\n<h2>Adam McQuaid<\/h2>\n<p><em>Rumour: theforthperiod.com has New York Rangers defenseman <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/mcquaad01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adam McQuaid<\/a><\/strong> as #24 on top 30 Trade Watch List. They list the<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/penguins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/maple-leafs\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> among teams thought to be interested.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Analysis:<\/em> McQuaid is another player who could add depth to a team&#8217;s defensive group. After spending most of the season on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, McQuaid only owns three assists. He&#8217;s a physical presence on the ice, and that could be an attractive quality when teams like the Penguins and Leafs are sniffing around.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s well known that the Leafs are looking to beef up their defence and could benefit from McQuaid&#8217;s big body. Pittsburgh could use him as a cushion if they&#8217;re looking at a deep playoff run to pad their blueline in case of injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"i3fK44AJQ_ZGA1IjVQLtnw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.ca\/detail\/1049599186\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'i3fK44AJQ_ZGA1IjVQLtnw',sig:'_wgO-Wp4PirQTegb67faVf0LvGzfgknvHSDa_hP5Suc=',w:'594px',h:'442px',items:'1049599186',caption: true ,tld:'ca',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 25th is approaching quickly.
