With the Vancouver Canucks entering a roster revamp, it's clear that not many players currently on the roster are safe from the trading block. That includes veteran forward Kiefer Sherwood, who had been a key part of the Canucks roster over the past few seasons. With one month until the Olympic break and two months to go until the NHL's trade deadline, we're bound to receive some clarity soon on the Canucks' deadline business.

Nick Robertson is having a great two weeks, which means they need to trade him ASAP before his stock drops. Robertson sits sixth on the Leafs in goals scored this year but nine goals and 20 points halfway through the season doesn't get me excited about the future of this left-winger. The 24-year-old played his first game with Toronto in August, 2020, so we should have seen a much bigger improvement by now.

During the latest edition of the 32 Thoughts Podcast, Elliotte Friedman hinted that Mangiapane could be squeezed out of the Oilers' lineup amid prospects pushing for playing time. Then, more interesting developments hit the airwaves when it was revealed that Mangiapane was a healthy scratch against the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night. As my colleague Thomas Williams also reported, Mangiapane's agent has been granted permission to seek a trade.

It seems as if Toronto has been linked to nearly every big name on the market, not surprising given their trade history. However, Toronto currently sits higher in the Eastern Conference standings than expected, and there's something to be said for roster continuity in a time of impatience and turnover. Nonetheless, the Raptors are rumoured to be interested in Anthony Davis, Domantas Sabonis, and even Lamelo Ball.

Hoerner is a staple of the Cubs' elite defense, winning his second Gold Glove Award in 2025. He totalled 14 outs above average (OAA) and a fielding run value of 12, both of which were twice as high as any other second baseman in the game. His ability to play shortstop at a high level adds even more value and has other teams eyeing him as a trade target.

Matias Maccelli has had a slow start so far in his first season in a Toronto Maple Leafs uniform. With other NHL teams making players available for trades, could the Leafs put Maccelli's name out there? He was acquired by the Leafs in a trade with the Utah Mammoth, where Toronto sent a 2027 third-round pick in exchange for the now 25-year-old forward.

The Los Angeles Clippers have had a difficult last three months. Star forward Kawhi Leonard and owner Steve Ballmer became the epicenter of a scandal to allegedly circumvent the NBA salary cap by investing in a fraudulent environmental start-up, Aspiration. The team is also off to a disastrous 6-17 start and is expected to be one of the more active trade partners ahead of the 2025-26 NBA Trade Deadline, less than two months away.

Coleman's playoff track record is very attractive to teams that are looking for Stanley Cup-winning experience. During his time with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he helped the Bolts win back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2020 and 2021, he scored the insurance goal in the Lightning's 2-0 win in Game 6 of the Cup final against the Stars. In 65 career playoff games, Coleman has recorded 31 points (12 goals and 19 assists).

As we as a site have pointed out at length, specifically back at the trade deadline, the case for trading Gore is a very simple one to comprehend. He is a Scott Boras client, who is notorious for not having his players sign extensions before going to free agency, and the Nationals don't seem close to competing with him before he hits free agency after the 2027 season.

Joining Cease in the starting five are Kevin Gausman, Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, and Jose Berrios, a formidable group that each brings something a little bit different to the table in how they get the job done. It's a good mix of youth and veteran status that should be pretty strikeout-heavy while beating you with offspeed pitches, whether it's a fastball, splitter, changeup, or slider.

In a vacuum, AD is the type of superstar that would appeal to the Heat. He's also one who would be a particularly intriguing fit next to Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. There's no guarantee he'd be a player on the team's radar, but you'd have to assume there have, at the very least, been conversations inside the front office about the possibility.
