Six NHL Players Likely to Move After Marchenko‑Knies Trade
Bleacher Report identifies six players who could be traded as the league reshapes rosters after a major September deal.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Bleacher Report says six NHL players are likely to be traded after the Kirill Marchenko‑Matthew Knies transaction, which sent Marchenko from Columbus to Toronto in a six‑player deal.
The report highlights goaltender Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets, noting that despite added depth, the market for the three‑time Vezina winner remains "not burning up" and could shift if injuries arise. It also cites Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin, who, while nursing an upper‑body injury, has reportedly expanded his trade list to include Colorado, Dallas and Washington in addition to earlier targets.
Other players mentioned include potential suitors for Hellebuyck such as the Buffalo Sabres, Utah Mammoth, San Jose Sharks and Carolina Hurricanes, and a note that the Edmonton Oilers have a full goaltending roster ready.
