The NHL's Feb. 29 Trade Deadline is approaching and teams are making decisions on whether to buy or sell and decide which players can make the biggest difference and hold the greatest value. Check out today's trade rumours and speculation from around the NHL beat.

Goalie Questions

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec has been out since Nov. 21 with a sprained knee. In his absence, Connor Hellebuyck has done a solid job for the Jets. With Pavelec nearing a return and Hellebuyck likely slated to get a number of starts in the near future, Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun wonders if the Jets would consider shopping Pavelec before the Trade Deadline. The 29-year-old has a cap hit of $3.9 million this year and next, a lot of cash for a goalie who might be playing backup minutes. Wiebe thinks the Calgary Flames might be viable trade partners as both Jonas Hiller and Karri Ramo are unrestricted free-agents come July 1. The Jets would likely have to take back Hiller (and a draft pick) in a deal, says Wiebe, but would clear $4 million in cap space, possibly aiding the pursuit of signing Dustin Byfuglien or Andrew Ladd to extensions.

Versteeg A Good Fit In Chicago?

Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times thinks bringing back Kris Versteeg to the Blackhawks would be a "really intriguing option." Lazerus says the Hawks could use a little more depth up front once the playoffs roll around and Versteeg would be the type of top-six forward they could use. The 29-year-old left winger will be a free agent at season's end and comes with a cap hit of $2.2 million. He has 10 goals and 21 assists over 50 games with the Carolina Hurricanes this season, his first with the club. Versteeg won two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks in 2010 and 2015.
