A hat trick of forwards with championship timbre head up the TSN Trade Bait Board one week from the NHL Deadline Day.
The Calgary Flames’ Nazem Kadri, New York Rangers’ Vincent Trocheck and Flames’ Blake Coleman are three prominent focal points of trade speculation as the calendar and clock move inexorably towards 3 p.m., March 6.
All three players have won major championships.
- No. 1 Kadri, a 35-year-old competitive centre, has recorded three straight two-point games, including two goals against San Jose on Thursday, and was a member of the 2022 champion Colorado Avalanche.
- No. 2 Trocheck, a 32-year-old all-around centre, was a key member of the perfect penalty-killing unit (17-for-17) on the perfect 2026 Olympic gold medal-winning USA team (6-0).
- No. 3 Coleman, a 34-year-old heartbeat left winger, is one of just two Flame forwards with a double-digit plus-minus (plus-10) and a member of the back-to-back champion Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and 2021.
Kadri has 12 goals and 41 points in 57 games this season, Trocheck has 12 goals and 47 points in 44 games, and Coleman has 13 goals and 21 points in 45 games.
Rounding out the top five are 26-year-old St. Louis Blues’ centre Robert Thomas (42-11-22-33) and 36-year-old Vancouver Canucks’ right defenceman Tyler Myers (57-1-7-8).
