Utah Mammoths could be an aggressive team ahead of trade deadline
TSN: Chris Johnston said the Utah Mammoths are a team with an eye on the trade market, but that market hasn’t really been tapped yet. They may be aggressive before deadlines.
“They have made no secret of their desire to make the playoffs, internally or externally, and I believe they will be very motivated as we approach the trade deadline and add to the roster.
Now, this might just be your typical deadline addition, you know, depth type piece, but the Mammoths are worth keeping an eye on, mostly because they have a ton of draft picks, a ton of prospects and the cap space to move into some higher-ticket items if, say, a top-four defenseman takes the floor between now and March 6. “

fourth period: Elliott Friedman reported on his 32 Thoughts podcast that he wonders if the Anaheim Ducks will be waiting for the New York Rangers to attack UFA forward Artemi Panarin if he doesn’t sign a contract extension.
“You talk about Verbeek going out and swinging… I wonder if it makes sense for a guy like Panarin to be there.”
Friedman said the Rangers and Panarin have discussed short-term deals and less money, but they haven’t been able to come to an agreement.
