When looking at each of these teams' rosters, it makes sense that they are considering the prospect of acquiring van Riemsdyk. After all, they each could use a bit of a boost in their middle six, and JVR can still provide that even at this juncture of his career. The 33-year-old is also still a very effective piece to a power play, as his net-front presence ability is truly excellent.

van Riemsdyk is also having another solid season, as he has nine goals and 22 points in 35 games. Although he is not a star like other trade targets such as Timo Meier, Patrick Kane, and Ryan O'Reilly, he is still a very solid forward. As a result, we will need to wait and see if any of these four teams end up acquiring him before the deadline passes.
