Mattias Janmark Finished with the Chicago Blackhawks
Mattias Janmark of the Chicago Blackhawks looks to be on his way out as the forward was scratched from Saturday's game as the team listens to trade offers. Blackhawks' general manager Stan Bowman has already been busy and will be looking to make at least one more move before Monday's trade deadline.
Chris Johnston on Headlines says Avs are linked to Mattias Janmark, Leafs interested as well.

The 28-year-old Janmark is capable of playing the wing and filling in at center and has a number of teams interested in adding him for their playoff run. He's having himself a decent season, scoring 10 goals and adding nine assists in 41 games. While Janmark won't hop into a team's first line, contenders are interested in adding him to their bottom-six forwards to provide some depth and injury insurance for the postseason.
The Swedish winger was originally selected in the third-round by the Detroit Red Wings and has recorded 128 points in 338 career NHL games. He's also appeared in 45 playoff games, most recently with the Dallas Stars where he chipped in with eight points in 26 games as he helped the Stars make the Stanley Cup Finals last season.
The Avalanche, Maple Leafs and Penguins appear to be the most interested in acquiring the pending free-agent.
