3 Under-the-Radar Trade Deadline Targets
March 3, 2024 by Evan Mead
The lead-up to the 2024 Trade Deadline has been very hectic. Lots of contradicting reports have led to a lot of people questioning who is available, who isn’t, and who are the real buyers and sellers of this trade deadline. It’s under that philosophy, that brings clarity to this situation. This season, there are a lot more teams looking to fight their way into the playoffs, which has led to teams looking to buy. However, what’s peculiar is that there are teams in the mix for wild card contention, or even in a playoff spot who have been linked in reports to be bigger sellers than buyers.

In sports, the term legend is sometimes used too loosely when describing any particular athlete in any sport. That isn’t the case, however, when referring to Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. The now 36-year-old came into the league with extremely high expectations and has more than lived up to them. Not only does he have a ridiculous 582 goals and 1,562 points over his career thus far, but he is also a proven winner. Whether it is his three Stanley Cup rings or two Olympic Gold Medals, he has elevated his teams to success on numerous occasions.

The Florida Panthers are at the top of the regular season mountain. They are currently tied with the Boston Bruins for first in the NHL with a record of 39-16-4 with 84 points. They look to get back into the playoffs for the fourth straight season and the 10th time in franchise history. The trade deadline is next week on Mar. 8, and Florida could be looking to bolster their lineup for a playoff push. For the past month, rumors have been circulating about the possibility of Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel being traded to Sunrise as his contract expires this offseason. As great as it would be, it would prove too costly for the Cats.
