The NHL's March 3 trade deadline is just days away and as things wind down over the final few days, a number of players continue to be held out for "trade-related reasons."
On Feb. 11, the Arizona Coyotes were the first team to set the trend, announcing they were making defenceman Jakob Chychrun a healthy scratch for "trade-related reasons" for a game against the St. Louis Blues. Chychrun has now been out for the past seven games under the same reasoning and sits as the No. 2 player on TSN's Trade Bait Board.
