However, the Russian forward has always <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/2018\/07\/03\/nhl-rumours-erik-karlsson-artemi-panarin-calvin-de-haan\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wanted to play in a large market<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/rangers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York<\/a>,<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/kings\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Los Angeles<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one of the<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/lightning\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Florida teams<\/a>. The Blue Jackets are also uncertain on what to do about goalie <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/bobrose01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Columbus sits in one of the Eastern Conference playoff spots, but it wants to get something in return for their star players. This meeting could boil down to a \u201ctake-it-or-leave-it\u201d scenario for Panarin.<\/p>\n<h2>Nashville Predators<\/h2>\n<p><em>Rumour: Bob McKenzie was on TSN 1290 in Winnipeg and he said the Nashville Predators <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsn.ca\/countdown-to-tradecentre-preds-thinking-big-1.1247644\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">could be very active at the deadline<\/a>. General manager David Poile could be willing to sacrifice the future for an \u201call-in\u201d type gamble.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Analysis: Poile has been one of the game\u2019s most decorated executives, but does not have a Stanley Cup. The Predators reached the final two seasons ago before losing to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/penguins\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a>. Nashville took the President\u2019s Trophy last year before the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Winnipeg Jets<\/a> spoiled the party.<\/p>\n<p>Could players like <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/f\/fialake01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Fiala<\/a>,<\/strong> <strong>Dante Fabbro<\/strong> and other youngsters be on the trade block to help the Predators nab that elusive title? Poile is one of the smarter traders in the league and it\u2019s possible he can make a blockbuster deal.<\/p>\n<h2>San Jose Sharks<\/h2>\n<p><em>Rumour: Kevin Kurz of The Athletic Bay Area says don\u2019t be surprised if the Sharks and the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/devils\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Jersey Devils<\/a> become trade partners at the deadline. He specifically mentioned <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/j\/johanma03.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcus Johansson<\/a>, <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/boylebr01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Brian Boyle<\/strong><\/a> and<strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kinkake01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Keith Kinkaid<\/a><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/KKurzNHL\/status\/1089609264031707136<\/p>\n<p>Analysis: All three of those Devils are impending unrestricted free agents at the end of the season. It would make sense for New Jersey general manager Ray Shero to try and get something for any of these players. San Jose is another club that has desires on winning a Stanley Cup. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/w\/wilsodo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Doug Wilson<\/strong><\/a> will likely be another active general manager at the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone of these three Devils\u2019 players would be useful for the Sharks\u2019 playoff push.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/gettyimages-1088434702-594x594.jpg\" alt=\"\">COLUMBUS, OH &#8211; DECEMBER 28: Artemi Panarin #9 of the Columbus Blue Jackets skates the puck away from Par Lindholm #26 of the Toronto Maple Leafs during the game on December 28, 2018 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
