The NHL Trade Bait Tracker for the upcoming NHL Trade Deadline has been updated courtesy of The Daily Goal Horn.

The top 35 NHL Trade Targets are ranked here for the March 21 deadline date.

Since we updated the list on March 14, there’s been more changes as Josh Manson has been taken off the board after being traded. Claude Giroux remains the top target with Ben Chiarot and Mark Giordano right behind him.

Another big piece of news involved Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who was injured in his last game on Saturday. He will be out 2-4 weeks but teams are still expected to make a move for him.

Trading has already begun this week with more expected before Monday.
