3 Potential Trade Destinations For Kraken’s Jared McCann


Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann is one of the top trade candidates in the NHL right now. Teams looking for a top-six forward who can play both down the middle and on the wing will undoubtedly be in the mix for the star. Let's discuss three specific teams who could look to acquire him now.

Detroit Red Wings

The Red Wings are right in the playoff race and are in a position to add to their roster. McCann could grab their attention because of this. When looking at their group, it is apparent they could use a second-line center, and McCann could give them exactly that. Thus, the Original Six club is a team to watch in the sweepstakes. 

Calgary Flames

The Flames recently added Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost from the Philadelphia Flyers, but they might not be done adding to their roster yet. The playoff-hopeful Flames would love to add another top-six forward, and McCann would give them just that. When looking at their roster, he could slot beautifully on their second line if acquired. 

Ottawa Senators

The Senators have been looking to add to their forward group, and McCann could be a perfect target for them because of it. He would provide their top six with a major boost and would also give them another skilled option for their power play.
