NHL Rumors: 3 Trade Destinations For Kraken's Jaden Schwartz

Jaden Schwartz, Seattle Kraken

The Seattle Kraken are starting to come back down to Earth again after their hot start, as they have won only four out of their last 10 games. If the Kraken start to drop in the standings, pending UFA forward Jaden Schwartz will be a big player to watch in the trade market.

Due to this, let's look at three teams that could target Schwartz if he becomes available this season.

New Jersey Devils

When looking at the Devils' roster, there is no question that they could use another top-six winger. Due to this, a player like Schwartz undoubtedly could grab their attention this season. He would give the Devils a nice upgrade for their first-line left wing spot, which is a real need right now. 

Los Angeles Kings

The Kings should be on the hunt for another skilled winger this season. Because of this, it would not be particularly surprising if they made a push for Schwartz. He would give their top six a nice boost and would also be a clear option for their power play if brought in.

Winnipeg Jets 

After losing Nikolaj Ehlers in free agency this offseason, the Jets certainly could look to add another skilled winger before the trade deadline passes. Schwartz would provide them with just that, and he could be a great fit on their second line if acquired.
