When NHL general managers woke up Friday morning, they had 33 days until the NHL trade deadline. While the clock is ticking, GMs must now wrestle with what their needs are, what their resources are via the salary cap and what will be the long-term implications of those potential moves.
With teams so tightly bunched (10 points separate sixth through 14th in the East and eighth through 12th in the West) and with the deadline earlier than ever before (last year it was March 9), the quantity of players on the move and the quality will be quashed.
It means GMs will have to work much harder, and perhaps ante up a little more, to find that last piece to the puzzle.
Here's a look at players whose movements could dramatically alter the playoff landscape, and maybe help lead a team to the Cup in June
