The NHL may see more consequential deals during the break for the 4-Nation Face-Off and after a series of trades early this month, several contenders may be checking in with the Buffalo Sabres to see who may be available leading up to the March 7th trade deadline, which is reflected in three Sabres players being on TSN’s Trade Bait Board.

Quebec-born Montreal Canadiens goalie Sam Montembeault might not even play at the 4 Nations Face-Off as Canada's third option.

The Buffalo Sabres are considered to have one of the best prospect pools in the NHL, not only because of their selecting high in recent drafts but also due to their eye for talent and their organizational choices of either leaving players to develop in their home countries or bringing them to North America. All are 25 years old or younger, whose rights are currently held by the Sabres, or are on AHL or NHL deals and have played less than 40 NHL games.

The Predators got a steal by re-signing this defenseman for such a modest cap hit.

The St. Louis Blues surfaced in trade speculation and rumors near the end of last week. At risk of missing the playoffs again, will they be sellers and trade their captain?

This would undoubtedly be a big change for the Blues.
