Key Points:
- The Florida Panthers, two-time defending Stanley Cup champions, are unlikely to make the playoffs this season due to injuries and may consider trading key players like goalie Sergei Bobrovsky before they become unrestricted free agents.
- The St. Louis Blues are struggling and could make significant roster changes, with goalie Jordan Binnington and top players like Colton Parayko potentially available, although Parayko recently declined a trade due to his no-trade clause.
- The Buffalo Sabres, with the longest playoff drought in the NHL, have surged since a mid-season management change and are now second in the Atlantic Division, positioning themselves as buyers at the trade deadline.
- The Detroit Red Wings and Utah Mammoth, both seeking to end their playoff drought
