If the Penguins, Kings and Hawks finish out of the playoffs and are well out of contention around the trade deadline, holy smokes, the amazing meat that would possibly become available.
I haven't seen anyone mention this to date, so I thought I would be the first to throw it out there.
Remember we have a ton of one year capspace. And money earmarked for Nylander.
There could be some big trades made that possibly could affect the eventual winner of the Cup.
Malkin might become available, Toews for sure, Kane an outside possibility, heck, maybe even the great Crosby, Kopitar and Doughty.
