from Lyle Richardson at the Hockey News,
So if you want a good forecast of which players are most likely to be dealt over the next two months, check out the list of potential unrestricted free agents.
It includes Marian Hossa, Brian Campbell, Mike Commodore, Cory Stillman, Pavol Demitra, Daymond Langkow, Kristian Huselius, Ron Hainsey, Joe Sakic, Mike Ribeiro, Nicklas Lidstrom, Brian Rolston, J-P Dumont, Brendan Shanahan, Jason Smith, Mats Sundin, Markus Naslund and Olaf Kolzig.
Don’t expect to see most – if any – of those players changing addresses by the trade deadline….
As long as those teams are in the playoff picture, none of the aforementioned will be dealt.
Instead, expect lesser lights or fading stars like Bobby Holik, Dmitri Kalinin, John-Michael Liles, Dick Tarnstrom, Keith Carney, Michael Ryder, Paul Mara, Brad Stuart, Marek Malik, Barret Jackman, Mike Johnson or Matt Cooke to become possible trade candidates.

Which part of this line that followed that list - Don’t expect to see most – if any – of those players changing addresses by the trade deadline…. - did you not understand?

I wonder if Demitra will get dealt, its said he doesnt get along with Lemaire at all, but how do you trade a guy like him who plays alongside Gaborik, and would Gaborik be pissed off if they dealt him ?

Lyle, I apologize.
As K24 said, I should have read the article.
