8 Ex-Collegians (and 2 Current Ones) Who Could Move Prior to the NHL Trade Deadline

• Joe Colborne/Phil Kessel/Mark Stuart (Boston): The B's are apparently in hunt for a top flight defenseman, and this troika with WCHA ties appears frequently as trade bait.

• Erik Cole (Edmonton): Cole has been a disappointment for the Oil with just 25 points. The erstwhile Clarkson star is in the last year of his contract; he won the Stanley Cup with Carolina in 2006.

• Bill Guerin (New York Islanders): The former BC sniper will definitely be moved by the NHL's worst team. Guerin's an unrestricted free agent come July 1, and some team could use his 400 career goals.

• Jordan Leopold (Colorado): The ex-Minnesota defenseman could be dealt to a team in search of point man for its second power-play unit by the Avs, currently last in the Western Conference.

• David McIntyre (New Jersey): The Colgate junior's rights have been dealt twice this season – from Dallas to Anaheim to New Jersey. Why not go for the natural hat trick?

• Dominic Moore (Toronto): The Harvard alum has had a breakout season (41 points). But he's an UFA and the Leafs are in full rebuilding mode; if they can't sign him to an extension, they'll move him.

• Martin St. Louis (Tampa Bay): Bolts' brass is adamant they won't flip St. Louis to another club, but the former UVM star's name keeps cropping up in rumors. He'd likely bring a king's ransom in a deal.

• Keith Tkachuk (St. Louis): An ex-Terrier, Tkachuk appeared almost certain to be traded six weeks ago, but the plucky Blues are somehow three points out of a playoff spot in the mediocre West.
