Here’s a look at nine key players who could be dealt in the coming days:

1. Kris Letang, Pittsburgh

2. Roberto Luongo, Vancouver

3. Shawn Horcoff, Edmonton

4. Paul Stastny, Colorado

5. Dion Phaneuf, Toronto

6. Mike Cammalleri, Calgary

7. Dave Bolland, Chicago

8. Thomas Vanek and Ryan Miller, Buffalo

Others potentially on the move: Ales Hemsky, Edmonton; Jeff Schultz, Washington; John-Michael Liles , Toronto; Tom Gilbert, Minnesota; David Booth, Vancouver
