Hockey Prospectus is taking a look at the NHL division by division and suggesting ways each team should tackle the forthcoming trade deadline. Tuesday, we continue with the Northwest Division.
Feb. 28 marks the NHL's trade deadline and every team in the league -- both playoff-bound and those likely for the draft lottery -- has needs to address. To prepare for the final flurry of transactions, we're going team by team to see which players can help fill some holes on contenders or provide some foundational stability for teams building for next season and beyond.
One statistic you'll come across in the analysis below is GVT, the main player valuation metric used by Hockey Prospectus. For a detailed explanation of GVT, click here.

I would love to see the Flames get Weiss. Bob McKenzie is saying the Panthers will want a center back in the deal. I wonder if Weiss for Stajan and player/pick X would seal the deal.
As for the Avs - I'm with you that they pulled the trigger too soon. They lost that trade badly (Johnson-Stewart) and I'm not sure about the goalie swap they made either.
