NHL Trade Market Buzz: Defense, Goalies, and Barrie's Future

The NHL trade market for defensemen and goalies is heating up earlier than usual, with players like Tony DeAngelo and Tyson Barrie available. DeAngelo's low cap hit makes him an enticing option, while Barrie's higher salary complicates potential trades. The Calgary Flames have received calls regarding both players but are in no rush to make a move. The Toronto Maple Leafs are actively seeking blue-line help, with Chris Tanev, Sean Walker, and Ilya Lyubushkin among their targets. The Detroit Red Wings are content keeping all three of their goalies, while the Montreal Canadiens are open to trading Jake Allen or Cayden Primeau.
