The Seattle Kraken has not had a great inaugural season, and has been a great disappointment, so they should definitely consider being sellers at the deadline and concentrate on the future. This is what the Seattle Kraken should do at the Trade Deadline. Trades: Seattle Kraken trade Mark Giordano to the Calgary Flames for Nikita Zadorov, Dillon Dube, and a 2023 2nd round pick. If the Flames make the second round of the playoffs, the 2nd round pick becomes a 1st round pick. This trade makes sense for both teams; Giordano goes back to Calgary, while Seattle gets Nikita Zadorov, a top 6 defenseman, a young, versatile forward in Dillon Dube, and a conditional 2nd pick, which could turn into a 1st. Seattle Kraken also trades Jared McCann, Calle Jarnkrok to the Anaheim Ducks for Sam Steel, Sonny Milano. The Anaheim Ducks are making a push for the playoffs, so Jared McCann and Calle Jarnkrok should help provide some depth scoring for them; on the other side of the trade, the Kraken get a soli...

 Chicago Blackhawks have the 3rd worst record in the Western Conference, and most likely will miss the playoffs again, so it would make sense for them to trade away the veteran players at the trade deadline. This is what the Chicago Blackhawks should do at the trade deadline. Trades: Chicago Blackhawks make a three-team trade with the Edmonton Oilers and Arizona Coyotes Chicago Blackhawks get Mikko Koskinen, Alex Galchenyuk, Ryan Dzingel, 2nd round pick '23 (from EDM). Edmonton Oilers get Marc Andre Fleury, 7th round pick '23 (from ARI). Arizona Coyotes get Brett Connolly, Kyle Turris, Devin Shore, 4th round pick '23 (from EDM). This trade helps out all teams involved; the Oilers get Marc-Andre Fleury, he gives them a veteran goalie they have been desperately looking for. In order for the trade to work out, the Oilers and Blackhawks need to move salaries, so Brett Connly, Kyle Turris, and Devin Shore are moved to the Coyotes along with a 4th round pick from Edmonton. Chicag...

 The Philadelphia Flyers currently sit in last place in the Metropolitan division, so it would make sense for them to be sellers at the deadline, and trade away some of their players on expiring contracts, so they can start rebuilding. This is what the Philadelphia Flyers should do at this years' Trade Deadline. Trades A three-team trade is made between the Philadelphia Flyers, Colorado Avalanche, Ottawa Senators Philadelphia Flyers get Alex Newhook, JT Compher, Jacob Bernard-Docker, Alex Formenton, 2023 1st round pick (from COL) Colorado Avalanche get Claude Giroux Ottawa Senators get Andre Burakovsky, Oskar Lindblom  This trade sends Claude Giroux to the Colorado Avalanche, where he will get a chance to win a Stanley Cup. In exchange for Giroux, the Flyers get Alex Newhook, JT Compher, and a 2023 1st round pick from Colorado as well as a Jacob Bernard-Docker and Alex Formenton from Ottawa. To make the trade work cap-wise, the Senators receive Andre Burakovsky from the Avalan...
