We also break down:

• Whether Florida’s recent play signals deeper issues

• What Minnesota’s Schmidt trade could really mean

• How Dallas could use Tyler Seguin’s LTIR flexibility

The NHL trade deadline is just over a week away, and many teams are ready to make moves. Montreal wants to add a first liner, and would be willing to retain salary on Patrik Laine to help free up space to make it happen. The Rangers would listen on Vincent Trochek, although his NMC will limit potential suitors. The Lightning and Kings are two teams looking for one more specific piece to help them out this spring. And the Leafs are in a tough spot, but may decide to extend pending UFA Bobby McMann rather than trade him.

Meet our insiders: Irfaan Gaffar of Daily Faceoff, Canucks Army, & Rink Wide Vancouver is joined by David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, SiriusXM NHL, and NHL Network. They look around the NHL, reacting to the week's news and digging into the contracts, trades, and moves that are still on the horizon.
