The NHL's April 12 trade deadline is fast approaching, and while this year's frenzy may be more diminished than usual, several big-name players could still be on the move.

Canada's government has reportedly halved the quarantine period for NHLers entering the country, but the league's flat salary cap, the looming expansion draft, and the overall financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could still dissuade teams from completing a trade they would make during a normal season. However, the current level of parity around the league and a heightened need for playoff revenue amid the aforementioned budget concerns could lead some of the many bubble teams to become buyers when they might typically lean toward selling.

Some other big boards list players based on their likelihood of being traded, but we're basing ours primarily on the NHLers' overall impact. We've excluded some players on contending clubs because their teams seem unlikely to sell.

Here are the NHL's top potential trade candidates ahead of the 3 p.m. ET deadline on April 12:

NMC = No-move clause
MNTC = Modified no-trade clause

The top 10

1. Mattias Ekholm

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Nashville Predators	2021-22	$3.75M

Ekholm will surely be in high demand for numerous reasons. The Predators will clearly be in sell mode considering how poorly their campaign's gone and how decimated they've been by injuries to other key players.

The steady defenseman has another year left on his deal after this one. However, that extra season of team control could mean the 30-year-old is more likely to be moved because it would fetch Nashville a greater return than the franchise would get for a rental. The acquiring side would also benefit from his team-friendly cap hit, and given both of those factors, it would be surprising if the Predators didn't trade Ekholm.

2. Jonathan Bernier

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Detroit Red Wings	2021	$3M

It's been another forgettable year for the Red Wings, but Bernier is posting shockingly solid numbers. The goaltender's resurgence has been especially remarkable, considering he's a 32-year-old and is backstopping one of the NHL's worst teams. Bernier recently missed 10 games with an injury, but he's back on the active roster now, so the veteran could be a reliable No. 2 option for clubs in need.

3. Mikael Granlund

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Predators	2021	$3.75M

Ekholm will be the most coveted Predators skater ahead of the deadline, but Granlund should have his share of suitors, too. The 29-year-old forward hasn't matched his past production with the Minnesota Wild since they traded him to Nashville in February 2019, but his underlying numbers are favorable - and so is his cap hit.

4. Alex Iafallo

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Los Angeles Kings	2021	$2.42M

It's not an absolute certainty that the Kings will deal Iafallo, but they've reportedly started taking calls to gauge interest in the 27-year-old forward while also negotiating a contract extension. If the two parties can't come to terms and Los Angeles looks to move him, Iafallo would be one of the top forwards available.

5. Rickard Rakell

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Anaheim Ducks	2021-22	$3.79M

Rakell is another NHLer with contract terms that extend beyond this campaign, but the forward would also be a tantalizing trade candidate like Ekholm if the Ducks opt to move him. Rakell is streaky, but he's a solid two-way player who posts impressive analytic figures - particularly his stellar share of individual scoring chances. He's currently injured, but the issue doesn't appear to be a long-term concern at the moment.

6. Josh Manson

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Ducks	2022	$4.1M

Manson is a big, physical defenseman who could be available for the right price. The 29-year-old will likely be more expensive than most rental options since he has an extra year on his contract, and any interested buyers will have to work around his modified no-trade clause. Still, he's the kind of player who coaches and general managers love to have at their disposal come playoff time.

7. Ryan Dzingel

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Ottawa Senators	2021	$3.37M

Dzingel has turned his season around since the Senators re-acquired him. The left wing's goal-scoring touch appears to be back, and he's driving play at a high rate relative to his heavy defensive-zone deployment. Buyers should surely beware, though, considering how underwhelming his stints outside of Ottawa have been.

8. Scott Laughton

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Philadelphia Flyers	2021	$2.3M

The Flyers have several pending UFAs they could trade if the franchise opts to sell before Monday's deadline, but Laughton is the most likely to be dealt. The center's cap hit is team-friendly, and he would be a solid addition to a contender's bottom-six group of forwards.

9. Luke Glendening

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Red Wings	2021	$1.8M

Glendening has spent his entire eight-year NHL career with the Red Wings and has strung together some solid seasons. The price to bring the 31-year-old in won't be astronomical, and he could provide some solid depth at the center position for teams in need.

10. Alex Goligoski

Team	Signed through	Cap hit
Coyotes	2021	$5.47M

Goligoski is one of the top blue-liners who could be moved prior to the deadline. The 35-year-old leads the Coyotes in blocked shots this season and can still chip in a bit offensively.

The rest

Rank	Player	Team	Signed Through	Cap Hit
11	Marc Staal	Red Wings	2021	$5.7M
12	Jake DeBrusk	Boston Bruins	2021-22	$3.67M
13	Jake Virtanen	Vancouver Canucks	2021-22	$2.55M
14	Brandon Sutter	Canucks	2021	$4.37M
15	Niklas Hjalmarsson	Coyotes	2021	$5M
16	Sam Bennett	Calgary Flames	2021	$2.55M
17	Haydn Fleury	Carolina Hurricanes	2021-22	$1.3M
18	Patrick Marleau	Sharks	2021	$700K
19	Jason Demers	Coyotes	2021	$3.94M
20	Andrew Cogliano	Stars	2021	$3.25M
21	David Kampf	Blackhawks	2021	$1M
22	Tyler Bozak	Blues	2021	$5M
23	Derek Ryan	Flames	2021	$3.12M

The play-in round will give the Nashville Predators a second lease on what was a disappointing season by their standards, but they'll face a hungry Arizona Coyotes squad with its sights on ending a seven-season playoff drought.

Will the Predators punch their ticket to the postseason for a seventh successive year, or will the Coyotes secure their first playoff berth since the franchise changed its name from Phoenix to Arizona?

TEAM	ODDS
Nashville Predators	-135
Arizona Coyotes	+115

The case for Nashville

The Predators know what this is all about. With a roster boasting mounds of playoff experience, they're no strangers to high-pressure situations. They didn't post great numbers offensively this season, but they are well and truly four lines deep. That makes them incredibly dangerous in postseason play. Leading the group is a legitimate game-breaker in Filip Forsberg, who can take over a series if he heats up.

Nashville also happens to own one of the NHL's top defensive pairings featuring Norris Trophy nominee Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis. Both are capable of logging heavy minutes and should be fresh following a lengthy layoff, meaning the Predators can lean heavily on their top unit in this series.

What really held Nashville back this season was goaltending. The Predators' underlying numbers suggest they were slightly above average defensively, yet they were on par with some of the NHL's worst defensive teams in terms of goals allowed. That's because Pekka Rinne was, to put it mildly, abysmal. The 37-year-old saw his play fall off a cliff in 2019-20, posting a 3.17 goals-against average and .895 save percentage in 40 starts - easily the worst marks of his career.

Juuse Saros took over as the starter in early February, and it's no coincidence Nashville's play drastically improved around that time. The Predators were 10-4-0 in his starts from February on, with the 25-year-old posting an outrageous .940 save percentage over that stretch. He should be the unquestioned starter heading into this series. With their goaltending issues finally behind them, the Predators can focus on making another deep playoff run.

The case for Arizona

Throw the standings out the window. The Coyotes were four points back of Nashville for the Western Conference's final playoff spot when the league suspended the season, but they were 20-12-4 when Darcy Kuemper got hurt in December. That's a 100-point pace over the course of a standard 82-game campaign. Because he plays in Arizona for a team that consistently flies under the league-wide radar, you probably didn't realize just how great a season Kuemper was having.

The native of Saskatchewan was third in the NHL in both save percentage (.928) and goals-against average (2.22) this season and would have been a lock for a Vezina Trophy nomination if he hadn't suffered an injury. He returned to play following a two-month absence and posted a .924 save percentage and 2.55 goals-against average in four games, so there's no evidence to suggest he'll be negatively impacted by the NHL's hiatus. On the off chance he does falter, Antti Raanta is one of the league's best backups.

Both Coyotes netminders will be supported by an extremely strong defensive corps. Jakob Chychrun is an absolute stud, emerging as the 22-year-old leader of a group that includes the dynamic Oliver Ekman-Larsson, as well as sturdy veterans Alex Goligoski, Niklas Hjalmarsson, and Jason Demers (with the latter two now healthy following the break). Only the Dallas Stars and Boston Bruins allowed fewer goals than Arizona this season, a testament not just to the Coyotes' goaltending, but to the defensive strength of their roster - especially in Kuemper's absence.

We know the Coyotes can keep goals out, but can they score? They had the league's fifth-worst shooting percentage this season, which suggests they were victims of some bad luck. They need more out of their top forwards, but Taylor Hall is playing for a new contract this summer and Phil Kessel has a history of elevating his game in the postseason. Improved play from those two - and some better puck luck - could help Arizona make some serious noise in the playoffs.

The pick

Arizona Coyotes (+115)

Comb through all the numbers you want; the fact is, these teams are very similar. The difference? Arizona holds a significant edge between the pipes, behind the bench - Coyotes head coach Rick Tocchet is criminally underrated - and on special teams. Nashville's power play (25th in the NHL) and penalty kill (29th) were disastrous this season, while the Coyotes boasted a top-five penalty kill and a middle-of-the-road power play. Those are three massive advantages for Arizona, which is one of my favorite bets of the play-in round at +115.

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jason Demers will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a knee injury during Thursday's game against the Nashville Predators, according to 98.7 FM Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro.

Demers went down awkwardly after Predators forward Kyle Turris bumped him.

His injury comes at a bad time for the Coyotes.

Goaltender Antti Raanta hasn't played since Nov. 2, defenseman Alex Goligoski is on injured reserve, and fellow blue-liner Jakob Chychrun, who made his season debut on Tuesday after recovering from a season-ending knee injury in 2017-18, is back on the shelf with an upper-body injury.

Arizona's depth will now be challenged. Defensemen Robbie Russo and Dakota Mermis have been recalled from the AHL over the past two days.

Demers registered a goal and two assists in 18 games this season.
