Wayne Simmonds, F, New Jersey Devils --Signed to a one-year contract on July1, it hasn't been a fit for Simmonds or the Devils this season. The 31-year-old is a six-time 20-goal scorer, but he is on pace to score fewer than 10 for the first time since he had nine as a rookie with the Kings in 2008-09. Simmonds has the ability to play on the power play, isn't afraid to mix it up (more than 1,100 penalty minutes in the NHL), and is built for playoff hockey, making him an intriguing rental at the deadline.
Tyler Toffoli, F, Los Angeles Kings --A top-six forward, Toffoli is on pace to score at least 20 goals for the fourth time in the NHL and is third on the Kings in scoring with 29 points (14 goals, 15 assists). The 27-year-old is in the final season of a three-year contract and can become a UFA on July 1, and he would likely benefit from a move to a contender.
Sami Vatanen, D, New Jersey Devils --The 28-year-old can become a UFA after this season and would be a welcome addition to any team. He leads Devils defensemen in scoring and if New Jersey decides not to invest long-term in Vatanen, there will likely be plenty of suitors for his services.
Jason Zucker, F, Minnesota Wild -- If Minnesota remains on the outside of the playoff race near the deadline, Zucker could be on the move. The 28-year-old, who signed a five-year contract prior to last season, has scored at least 20 goals in each of the previous three seasons, including an NHL career-high 33 in 2017-18, and could provide forward depth to a contender.
