The NHL trade deadline is set to begin on Friday. Vincent Trocheck, the most prominent center in trade talks, is expected to be traded to several teams including the Minnesota Wild, Los Angeles Kings, Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings, and the Carolina Hurricanes. Trocheck would be a significant addition to the team, which currently sits third in the Western Conference and has the potential to make a deep playoff run and compete for a Stanley Cup. He would instantly improve the special teams that have plagued the Wild all season. However, critics question whether the Wild would be willing to sacrifice pieces to acquire Trocheck.
