5 under the radar names that could be acquired at the trade deadline

Jordan Eberle is someone that the Seattle Kraken might move on from.

The Seattle Kraken are in an interesting spot this trade deadline. Only sitting a few points out of the second wild-card spot, they could choose to keep the team together and make a push for the playoffs.

Given Joey Daccord's play in the net, he could steal a series for the Kraken and help them advance a round. However, although not impossible, it is highly unlikely. The Kraken are listening to trade offers on some of their pending free agents.

Jordan Eberle is a leader on this team that would be a tough loss for Seattle. Although that may be true, the return for Eberle could be too much to pass up as a contending team would be willing to throw multiple assets at the pending free agent to bolster their top six.

At a cap hit of 5.5 million dollars, Seattle could look to retain salary to maximize the value of Eberle in a trade that could bring back a first-round pick and more.

The obvious fit for Eberle is his former team in the Edmonton Oilers who are desperately looking to add a forward within their top six. Eberle, who spent his first seven seasons with the team, would be a natural fit for the Oilers in their hopes for a deep playoff run.
