Top 20 Players To Keep An Eye On At The 2021-22 NHL Trade Deadline
By Jim Lynch
15. Max Domi – Columbus Blue Jackets
The Columbus Blue Jackets cannot afford to let yet another player leave in free agency from their team. Domi is still relatively young at 26 and has a lot of good hockey ahead of him.
This would be a great third-line addition for a team looking to make that final push for the playoffs. The only thing is adding him would come at a high price in the cap hit and from a team looking to acquire assets in the draft.
16. Lawson Crouse – Arizona Coyotes
The Arizona Coyotes are all in on a rebuild, which means moving on from young talented forwards in the hopes of adding prospects and draft picks. While the Coyotes have basically already dealt everyone, they have another option to move in Lawson Crouse.
Crouse has 17 points in 32 games this season, a pretty good year for the team he is playing on this season. Putting up that many points with this roster makes it seem like he could be a good fit for a team looking for a player they can bet on for this year and the future.
Crouse definitely won’t be playing 18 plus minutes a night on any other roster, but he would be a good depth add for a team looking for depth scoring.
