Players To Watch:

Colorado Avalanche

Mikko Rantanen is reported to be asking for $14m AAV on his next contract. With 34 points in 25 games, he’s still making a good case for himself. Although, in his last four games, he has 2 points and is -7; not ideal.

Buffalo Sabres

Alex Tuch is a core piece of the Sabres lineup and is currently a point per game player. Does he have more to give this Buffalo roster or will he prop up in trade talks?
