With the NHL's trade deadline set for Monday at 3 p.m. ET, trade rumors and speculation only grow more intense. Several of the big trade pieces known to be available on the trade market have already switched addresses, but the trade chatter remains piping hot

To keep you up to date on all that is out there, we'll be continually updating this rumor mill, combining reports, rumors and speculation on the NHL's bustling trade market heading into Monday's deadline.

Trade Deadline Speculation
TRADE The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired defenseman Braydon Coburn from the Philadelphia Flyers for Radko Gudas, TB's first-round pick and third-round pick in 2015.
TRADE The Boston Bruins acquired forward Brett Connolly from the Tampa Bay Lightning for Boston's second-round pick in 2015 and second-round pick in 2016.
Mar. 1 The Rangers have signed Mats Zuccarello to a four-year deal worth 18 million according to Katie Strang of ESPN.com. That takes him out of the running to be dealt, as had been floated in recent days.
Mar. 1 Big Anaheim Ducks forward Matt Beleskey is among the players that could be targeted on deadline day according to Pierre LeBrun. The winger with 21 goals this season is on an expiring contract, which could lead to the Ducks pulling the trigger. It's no sure thing, though, as the Ducks are benefitting greatly from Beleskey's career year. According to LeBrun, the Bruins are among the teams interested.
TRADE The very busy Rangers made another move, acquiring depth forward James Sheppard from the San Jose Sharks for a fourth-round pick in 2016 according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
TRADE The Detroit Red Wings have acquired Erik Cole and a conditional third-round pick from the Dallas Stars for prospects Mattias Backman and Mattias Janmark and a second-round pick according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
TRADE The Winnipeg Jets have acquired forward Lee Stempniak from the New York Rangers for prospect Carl Klingberg.
Mar. 1 Most would think after the Nashville Predators acquired Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli last week that they would sit out the rest of the deadline. Apparently not, according to Craig Custance of ESPN.com, who reported that the Preds are "kicking some tires" still.
Mar. 1 After swinging a blockbuster deal, the Rangers are reportedly trying to hang onto one of their assets for this season. According to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports, the Rangers are closing in on a new deal with forward Mats Zuccarello. 
TRADE The New York Rangers have acquired Keith Yandle, Chris Summers and a fourth-round pick from the Arizona Coyotes for a 2016 first-round pick, a 2015 second-round pick, prospect Anthony Duclair, defenseman John Moore according to Darren Dreger of TSN. Arizona will also retain 50 percent of Yandle's salary. 
Mar. 1 Braydon Coburn appears to be the defenseman most likely to be shipped out of Philadelphia. According to CSNPhilly's Tim Panaccio, the club is hoping to deal Coburn ahead of Monday's trade deadline and are getting calls on him.
Mar. 1 If the struggling San Jose Sharks have any intention of trading star players Patrick Marleau or Joe Thornton, neither has heard much about it. According to David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News, neither player has yet been asked to waive his no-trade clause.
Mar. 1 It appears that defenseman Marek Zidlicky is a good bet to be moved out of New Jersey, but he has full no-trade protection. According to Craig Custance of ESPN.com, Zidlicky would have to go to a Stanley Cup contender in order to waive his NTC.
Mar. 1 The Philadelphia Flyers are currently receiving calls regarding other members of their defense and are interested in making a move according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Mar. 1 A bidding war may be developing surrounding Dallas Stars top-six forward Erik Cole. Pierre LeBrun of ESPN reports that three to four teams are in on the Cole race, with the Boston Bruins being one of them.
TRADE The Calgary Flames have traded Curtis Glencross to the Washington Capitals for a second- and third-round draft pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft according to multiple reports.
Mar. 1 The Winnipeg Jets are still looking for a forward ahead of Monday's trade deadline according to Craig Custance of ESPN.com. They were one of the teams in hot pursuit of Antoine Vermette, who was traded Saturday.
Mar. 1 The Edmonton Oilers have eyes on acquiring a goaltender ahead of the deadline and have been scouting the Toronto Maple Leafs netminders according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
Mar. 1 The Flames claimed David Schlemko off of waivers from the Dallas Stars according to Chris Johnston of Sportsnet. They were said to be seeking a defenseman ahead of the deadline. Perhaps they still are, but the need for one becomes less significant by nabbing Schlemko for free, basically.
Mar. 1 The Toronto Maple Leafs have claimed defenseman Tim Erixon off waivers from the Chicago Blackhawks. The former first-round pick is now on his fifth organization since being drafted in 2009. This move could open up avenues for Toronto to trade another blueliner, however.
Mar. 1 The Washington Capitals are among the teams interested in veteran wing Erik Cole of the Dallas Stars according to Alex Prewitt of the Washington Post. Cole has generated significant interest on the trade market and the Capitals are on his list of teams he would accept a trade to according to Craig Custance of ESPN.com.
Mar. 1 The Carolina Hurricanes signed veteran center Jay McClement to a two-year extension Sunday. He was previously believed to be potential trade bait for the Hurricanes, but obviously the new deal will take him off the market.
Mar. 1 The Calgary Flames are looking to add a defenseman ahead of the deadline according to Darren Dreger of TSN. They may need forward Curtis Glencross to expand his limited no-trade list in order to make that happen, though.
Mar. 1 Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch reports that the New York Rangers are among the teams that have interested in forward Cam Atkinson. With the Rangers reportedly looking to deal Mats Zuccarello, they could look to Atkinson as a replacement given his speed and scoring ability.
Mar. 1 The Tampa Bay Lightning are looking for a veteran defenseman to add some depth to their injury-depleted blue line. GM Steve Yzerman told Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times that he will not overpay to make that deal. Yzerman says it's "50-50" that the Lightning will make a trade ahead of the deadline.
Mar. 1 One of the Maple Leafs defensemen that appeared likely to be on the move was Roman Polak. However, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reported that it now appears very unlikely he is moved before the deadline. 
Mar. 1 Keith Yandle may be dealt by the Coyotes as part of their rebuilding process. If it happens, he's going to a Stanley Cup contender in the Eastern Conference according to Elliotte Friedman on Hockey Night in Canada. He has often been linked with his hometown Boston Bruins, who have been rumored to be seeking a top-four defenseman.
Mar. 1 The Maple Leafs aren't done yet making deals according to Damien Cox of Sportsnet. Several bit players could end up being moved at the deadline, but Cox also noted that Toronto is listening to offers for goaltender Jonathan Bernier, but they'd be seeking a massive return in order to move him. 
Mar. 1 Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada reported that Patrick Sharp was not asked for 10 teams to accept a trade to as part of his modified no-trade clause. Per Friedman, the clause also requires Sharp to be asked 48 hours before a trade can be completed. As a result, he's staying put. 
TRADE The Chicago Blackhawks added some forward help to their roster by getting Antoine Vermette from the Arizona Coyotes for a first-round draft pick in 2015 and a prospect. 
Feb. 28 The New Jersey Devils will make veteran forward Martin Havlat a healthy scratch on Saturday. He is expected to be moved before the trade deadline, and like the Edmonton Oilers with defenseman Jeff Petry, there is no sense in risking an injury that could impact a trade.
Feb. 28 Defenseman Jeff Petry is expected to be out of the lineup for the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night because of a "management decision." He is expected to be traded before Monday and management obviously does not want to risk injury before then.
TRADE The Florida Panthers completed another trade, sending forward Tomas Fleischmann to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for a third-round draft pick and forward Dany Heatley.
Feb. 28 The Ottawa Senators are taking calls on defensemen Chris Phillips, Eric Gryba and Patrick Wiercioch according to TSN's Darren Dreger. Gryba and Wierioch are still pretty young which could be attractive to teams around the league, but it remains to be seen what sort of value Phillips will have at this point in his career
TRADE The Washington Capitals sent Jack Hillen and a draft pick to the Carolina Hurricanes for defenseman Tim Gleason. It is the second time in the past two seasons that the Hurricanes have traded Gleason, who the Capitals feel will give them some size and physical play on their blue line.  
Feb. 28 ESPN's Katie Strang reports that it is looking more likely that the New York Rangers will trade forward Mats Zuccarello before the trade deadline and have started telling teams he is available. Zuccarello is an unrestricted free agent after this season and given the contract extensions given to defensemen Marc Staal and Dan Girardi they may not have the salary cap space to keep him. 
Feb. 27 The Chicago Blackhawks have had dialogue with the Washington Capitals involving a possible trade for Blackhawks sniper Patrick Sharp according to Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune. On a related note, Tracey Myers of CSNChicago.com reports that the Blackhawks inquired about Caps forward Joel Ward
TRADE The Chicago Blackhawks acquired defenseman Kimmo Timonen from the Philadelphia Flyers for a second-round pick in 2015 and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2016.
Feb. 27 Amid rumors that the Bruins are more aggressively pursuing Antoine Vermette, CSN New England's Joe Haggerty lists acquiring an "offensively dangerous right wing that is preferably big and strong" is the top priority for the club. They're also seeking a top-four defenseman and veteran backup, in that order, according to Haggerty.
Feb. 27 Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving told Sportsnet Radio 690 that the club is going to be as "aggressive as we can" when it comes to the trade deadline (via NicholsonHockey.com). It is expected forward Curtis Glencross will be dealt, but the Flames are very much in the playoff race and could be looking to add NHL-ready pieces as well.
Feb. 27 After trading Jaromir Jagr, it would appear that the New Jersey Devils are open for business as a seller. One player to watch ahead of the trade deadline that is "likely to be moved" according to ESPN.com's Scott Burnside is veteran forward Scott Gomez. Currently on a one-year deal at a mere $550,000, he could be a good rental option in a resurgent season.
Feb. 27 The Chicago Blackhawks are expected to be making some sort of deal or deals soon as they seek a defenseman and forward to fill some lineup gaps. According to Mark Spector of Sportsnet, one player that is available to be had from the Blackhawks is backup goaltender Antti Raanta. 
Feb. 27 Defenseman Kimmo Timonen is expected to return to the Philadelphia Flyers lineup for the first this season on Saturday. Though he'll be a welcome addition to the Flyers blue line, he may be more valuable to the team as a trade chip. ESPN.com's Craig Custance reported that Timonen would be open to a trade as "his priority is a shot to win it all." GMs of contending teams can get a good look at him Saturday to see how he adjusts after being off all year due to blood clots.
Feb. 27 Forward Matt Calvert is out indefinitely with a concussion. Slated to become a restricted free agent in the offseason, Calvert had been one of the Columbus Blue Jackets players speculated to be on the market ahead of the trade deadline. The injury and its indefinite recovery timeline probably knocks him out of contention to be dealt.
Feb. 27 With forward Brandon Pirri set to return, the Florida Panthers have the roster flexibility now to move out veteran forward Tomas Fleischmann according to George Richards of the Miami Herald. The 30-year-old could be a good middle-six option for teams in need of some depth scoring.
Feb. 27 The Chicago Blackhawks are apparently heavy on the trail of Antoine Vermette. ESPN's Pierre LeBrun reported that Chicago expects to make a trade by the end of the day Friday, though that may not necessarily involve Vermette. The team is also looking for a defenseman ahead of the deadline.
Feb. 27 If the Colorado Avalanche fall further out of the playoff picture after games Friday and Saturday, Mike Chambers of the Denver Post says to expect defenseman Jan Hejda to be dealt. Daniel Briere is also expected to be dangled as a rental option according to Chambers.
Feb. 27 The Minnesota Wild may be looking to add a depth defenseman ahead of the deadline according to Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. GM Chuck Fletcher says the team won't be dealing their first or second-round picks to do it, though. 
Feb. 27 The Calgary Flames are anxiously awaiting a status update on the health of top defenseman Mark Giordano, who is currently out with an upper-body injury. There is no timeline for his return yet according to the team, but this injury should have a massive impact on what the Flames try to do ahead of the deadline. 
Feb. 27 The Boston Bruins are among the teams interested in pursuing Antoine Vermette of the Arizona Coyotes according to Darren Dreger of TSN. The club is also still taking a long look at bringing in Buffalo Sabres forward Chris Stewart according to Pierre LeBrun of ESPN. Joe Haggerty of CSN New England also added Joffrey Lupul's name to the mix as an option for the Bruins.
Feb. 27 The Toronto Maple Leafs are more likely to wait until the offseason to trade the big contracts of Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf, if they trade them at all, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Feb. 27 Though the Maple Leafs are unlikely to deal Dion Phaneuf, Darren Dreger of TSN reports that it is possible -- if unlikely -- that a team like the Detroit Red Wings would make an 11th-hour push to acquire the defenseman. It appears most teams like Phaneuf as a second-pairing option, according to Dreger.
Feb. 26 The Washington Capitals are believed to be seeking a top-six forward to fortify their offense for a playoff run. According to ESPN's Pierre LeBrun, Curtis Glencross (Calgary Flames ), Erik Cole (Dallas Stars ), Joffrey Lupul (Toronto Maple Leafs) are among the players that interest them. Curtis Glencross of the Calgary Flames could also be an option per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Feb. 26 Sabres GM Tim Murray told WGR 550 Sports Radio that he received a call on a player he never expected to. Though he didn't say which player it was, Murray noted that he remains open to all options when it comes to trades and will listen to what opposing GMs have to say. Chris Stewart and Michal Neuvirth still look like the most likely players to be dealt out of Buffalo.
Feb. 26 Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman said the club is "getting pretty close" to making a trade. According to Chris Kuc of the Chicago Tribune, the club as "upped the ante" to acquire a top-line caliber forward to replace the injured Patrick Kane.
Feb. 26 Senators general manager Bryan Murray told Sportsnet's Kyle Bukauskus that the clubs is "open-minded" and "certainly open for business." The Senators are actually back in playoff contention, so could they actually end up as buyers instead of sellers?
