Granted, some of these teams may not trade their first for a rental, but might if an extension comes with it. I think it was mentioned on 32 thoughts today that teams might be willing to part with firsts this year as their appears to be a drop in the later first. But given this is what we would be looking for in trades for our ufas and perhaps markstrom, this is my best guess as to teams that could have their first in play.

I really don’t think Dallas does it. Jim Nill comes from the scouting world where it’s his bread and butter and he takes pride in his drafting. I don’t think he makes those types of moves unless he’s on the selling side. Just can’t see him trading a 1st. Colorado is simply astute and doesn’t panic. Edmonton needs this more than anyone. Could totally see them doing it.
