(Trade deadline special) The two goalies sellers want badly

                The Boston Bruins & Pittsburgh Penguins have allot in common nowadays. They’re both struggling in different ways; both teams have very little to no cap space.  Currently the B’s can only bring in a 2 million player; which look at their needs won’t do them much good. The Pens on the other hand is much worse. They have to move someone out of equal salary; so if they acquire anyone. Example if the Pens got Daniel Winnik from Toronto; they need to move out a 1.2 million salary. With this being the case one can see why the Pens won’t be doing anything major at the deadline.

Sellers will be asking for?

For the positive both teams have a goaltender that sellers want to get their hands on.

Bruins rookie Niklas Svedberg has been solid in 13 games this year; but might be pushed out of Beantown by prospect Malcolm Subban. Now if the B’s were to move the 25-year-old Swede; it would be in a part of an actual hockey trade; not a rental situation. The other type of place where he could be moved is if the seller (Oilers, Leafs, Sabres or Coyotes) take on salary that the Bruins want to get rid of in the worst way in order to make another move;  that type of a deal would likely be made in the off-season.

                Jeff Zatkoff could be dangled to the sellers at the trade deadline. The 27 year old had decent numbers in Pittsburgh last year with a 2.61 g.a.a & 912%. He was forced to the AHL when the Pens inked Thomas Greiss in the off-season. His numbers in the AHL are unreal; 2.24 g.a.a & 911%.

If I were in charge of the Sabres, Oilers or Yotes I’d demand he be included in any trade and I would not budge. In Pittsburgh’s situation they might replace Greiss with Zatkoff based on performance plus also for cap purposes (assuming someone wants Greiss).
