But they could also make moves with guys who are a year away like Andersson, Backlund, Bean, Pospisil, Miromanov, etc. And I sippose a team might even be interested in Kadri with $7M no longer being as big a cap hit.
It's pretty possible that in 2 years the only current vets still around will be Huberdeau, Weegar and Sharky.

On March 3rd, they were T-9th in the west, with a .542 P%
From then on, they went 8-14-0 , a .364 P%
Yes, if they were concerned about the standings, and wanted to ensure a bottom 10 spot, they could look to trade Andersson or Weegar, Coleman or Kadri. Any of those guys would take the wind out of their sails again.
