10 players who could be moved by Friday afternoon

The 3 p.m. ET Friday NHL trade deadline is less than 24 hours away.
Many big names have already been moved, with Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko (New York Rangers), Timo Meier (New Jersey Devils), Ryan O’Reilly (Toronto Maple Leafs), Bo Horvat (New York Islanders), Shayne Gostisbehere (Carolina Hurricanes) and Jakob Chychrun (Ottawa Senators) changing teams.
But last season, there were 33 trades on deadline day, even with a flurry of moves on earlier days.

Arizona Coyotes forward Nick Bjugstad
He’s sitting out for trade-related reasons. The pending UFA can add depth at an affordable $900,000 cap hit. Teammate Nick Schmaltz, another potential trade target, was hit in the face by a shot Wednesday night and didn’t return. Where he went: Oilers for a 2023 third-round pick. The teams also swapped minor league defensemen.
Philadelphia Flyers forward James van Riemsdyk
Leading scorer Travis Konecny is out long-term and the Flyers are slumping and selling. Van Riemsdyk and Justin Braun are the team’s pending unrestricted free agents. Van Riemsdyk was back in the lineup Wednesday…
