A trading partner for taking him on would have to be a non-playoff team, and it'd likely be a mediocre swap, to give everyone a reset without either team taking on salary. So I could very well see a guy like Anderson in Ottawa being acquired, or one of the Arizona goaltenders as a desperation move, or at best Lundqvist at the deadline. All in all I don't think there are many trading partners out there.

Risk? Hell I guaranteed it.
