"The Anaheim Ducks are one of the NHL's surprises this year, as they've exceeded expectations posting a 19-12-1 record through 32 games. The Ducks sit second in the Pacific Division and have been doing so with a number of players struggling to produce this season, including centre Ryan Strome. Strome has dressed in just 14 games this season, scoring one goal and adding four assists, for five points. According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, Strome's becoming a prime trade candidate to keep an eye one."
""Ryan Strome, I think that one's obvious; the team got hot when he was still hurt and everybody kinda lined up their spots; it was harder to find his way back into it." The 32-year-old Strome is signed through next season at $5 million AAV. He doesn't have any trade protection on his contract and can be moved at will. The veteran forward has spent the past three seasons in Anaheim, and is coming off a 41-point campaign. As far as potential destinations go, the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils are two teams who are in the market for help down the middle."
Quinn Hughes was traded from Vancouver to Minnesota to avoid losing him for nothing after next season. Pittsburgh moved Tristan Jarry and now has roster and trade-deadline flexibility. Anaheim sits second in the Pacific at 19-12-1 despite several underperforming players, with centre Ryan Strome appearing as a prime trade candidate after dressing 14 games for five points. Strome carries a $5 million AAV through next season with no trade protection. Potential suitors include the Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils. Stuart Skinner did not request a trade from Edmonton, and Pittsburgh may have other plans for its new goaltender.
