\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Vincent Trocheck is right near the top of most NHL trade boards as we get set to close in on the March 6 deadline. The New York Rangers are looking to sell, and Trocheck’s gritty, two-way play, plus his reasonable cap hit of $5.625 for another three years, has many teams salivating about adding him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vince Mercogliano of The Athletic<\/a> has proposed a list of 10 potential trade destinations for Trocheck. And while the player does have a\u00a012-team no-trade list to keep in mind, the insider lists 10 teams to watch on the Trocheck trade front:<\/p>\n

(in alphabetical order)<\/p>\n

Boston BruinsCarolina HurricanesColorado AvalancheDallas StarsDetroit Red WingsLos Angeles KingsMinnesota WildNew York IslandersPittsburgh PenguinsUtah MammothPlenty of playoff teams looking for a top-six center like Trocheck<\/p>\n

It’s a lengthy list, with all of those teams having intentions of making some noise in the playoffs\u2014though let’s admit that some will be much noisier than others.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes will always be tied to the biggest names on the trade market, as will the Avs and Stars, who are fighting tooth-and-nail to keep the other from getting any big edge at this point, so they will be bidding hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Kings are 28th in the NHL in goals per game; they need more offense, even after acquiring Artemi Panarin, so why not go for the Bread Man’s good friend and ex-teammate?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Wild are looking for a top-six center, and Trocheck would fit the bill.<\/p>\n

The Bruins, Islanders, Penguins & Mammoth are all hopeful of hanging on to their unexpected playoff perches at this point, and adding a player like Trocheck could go a long way to getting them to the promised land. He is, by the way, from Pittsburgh. So there’s that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trocheck is coming off four straight 20-goal seasons, though he is currently sitting on 12 goals, with 36 points in 43 games.<\/p>\n
