The Athletic ran a bunch of trade-related type posts this week. They obviously go a lot more in-depth in each post, but we’ll just list the players from untradeable to tradeable for the Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild, Anaheim Ducks and Calgary Flames.
Jonathan Willis of The Athletic: Edmonton Oilers
The Untouchables – Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Almost untouchable – Oscar Klefbom, Adam Larsson, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse
Good luck with that – Milan Lucic, Andrej Sekera and Kris Russell.
Conceivable – Kailer Yamamoto and Ethan Bear.
Deadline possibilities – Cam Talbot and Mikko Koskinen.
What would be the point – Tobias Rieder, Ryan Spooner, Kyle Brodziak, Cooper Marody, Ty Rattie, Jujhar Khaira, Alex Chiasson, Kevin Gravel and Jason Garrison.
Plausible now – Zack Kassian, Drake Caggiula, Matt Benning and Al Montoya.
Keep in mind – Jesse Puljujarvi.
Michael Russo of The Athletic: Minnesota Wild
Not being traded – Mikael Granlund, Devan Dubnyk, Zach Parise, Ryan Suter, Jordan Greenway, Nick Seeler and Luke Kunin.
Doubtful they’d trade in-season – Matt Dumba, Jonas Brodin, Jared Spurgeon, Mikko Koivu, Jason Zucker, Marcus Foligno and Greg Pateryn.
Would probably at least consider moving – Eric Staal, Joel Eriksson Ek, Nate Prosser, Alex Stalock and Eric Fehr.
Would likely move – Charlie Coyle, Nino Niederreiter, J.T. Brown and Matt Hendricks.

Doubful – Cam Fowler, Hampus Lindholm, Rickard Rakell, Ondrej Kase and Josh Mason.
Too hard to facilitate – Corey Perry, Ryan Kesler and Ryan Miller.
Highly unlikely – Patrick Eaves, Brian Gibbons and Carter Rowney.
Conceivable – Adam Henrique, Andrew Cogliano, Brandon Montour, Nick Ritchie, Jacob Larsson, Andrej Sustr and Luke Schenn.
The one that might make the most sense – Jakob Silfverberg
The one that was never thought to be possible – Pontus Aberg
Darren Haynes of The Athletic: Calgary Flames
Untouchable – Mark Giordano, Matthew Tkachuk, Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, Elias Lindholm, Noah Hanifin, Juuso Valimaki and Rasmus Andersson.
