Seattle Kraken Expected to Sell at NHL Deadline

As the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline approaches, the Seattle Kraken, currently close to last place, are expected to be sellers, with players like Brandon Tanev and Yanni Gourde as potential trade candidates, despite obstacles such as Gourde's current injury status. Meanwhile, the Utah Hockey Club is contending for the final Wild Card spot in the West, six points behind the Vancouver Canucks, and considering trade options including potentially moving veteran Nick Bjugstad to teams like the Colorado Avalanche. The New York Islanders are also contemplating trade moves involving Jean-Gabriel Pageau, a center with notable playoff experience, as they navigate the Eastern Conference playoff line. The Texas Rangers, unrelated to the NHL, are mentioned in the context of baseball trades.
