A pair of Pacific Division foes see the value of Martin Hanzal.

The NHL trade deadline is set for March 1 and with the Arizona Coyotes sitting 16 points back of a playoff berth as of Friday, the "for sale" sign is up in the desert.

That means moving out pending unrestricted free agents - a group headlined by Hanzal.

The teams inquiring about the veteran center include the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks, Elliotte Friedman told Bob Stauffer of Oilers Now.

Friedman added that the St. Louis Blues have also expressed interest.

Hanzal made his NHL debut with the Coyotes in 2007 and has been a reliable pivot over the years, used on both the power play and penalty kill. He has tallied 15 points in 34 games this season after scoring a career-high 41 points a year ago.

According to Friedman, Coyotes general manager John Chayka is believed to be seeking a young player, preferably a center, in return for Hanzal.
