Upcoming Trade Dealings in National Hockey League

The NHL and NBA trade deadlines are approaching, with the NHL deadline set for March 8th at 3:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. Here's a roundup of the latest news and rumours from both leagues.

In the NHL, the Calgary Flames may be looking to make some moves. Goalie Jacob Markstrom, who has a 2.58 goals against average and a .914% save percentage in 36 appearances this season, could be on the trading block. Three potential teams for Markstrom are the New Jersey Devils, Carolina Hurricanes, and Edmonton Oilers. The Flames may also trade defenseman Noah Hanifin, the 5th overall pick in the 2015 NHL draft. Hanifin is in the last year of his deal and has not signed a long-term contract extension with the Flames. As of the latest reports, the Carolina Hurricanes and New Jersey Devils have shown interest in a trade involving Hanifin.

Jakob Chychrun, a defenseman for the Arizona Coyotes, is another potential trade candidate. Chychrun has been involved in trade rumours for several months, but no trade for him was made last season. The Vegas Golden Knights and Detroit Red Wings have been linked to Jake Guentzel, a left winger for the Pittsburgh Penguins who is set to become an unrestricted free agent. The Devils are favoured to acquire Markstrom due to their poor performance in goals allowed per game.

Meanwhile, in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers also made significant trades during the deadline. However, the details of these trades are not specified. Cam Reddish, a forward for the New York Knicks, may be traded due to his decreased playing time. Reddish entered the season as a starter but has been moved down the depth chart.

Jake Guentzel and Adam Henrique are potential forwards who could be on the move. Guentzel is a left winger for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Henrique is a center for the Anaheim Ducks. Both are set to become unrestricted free agents. The Bruins could use Hanifin as a long-term upgrade over Matt Grzelcyk and Derek Forbort. Potential suitors for Hanifin include the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins.

The Lightning are looking to bolster their blue line after losing Mikhail Sergachev for the remainder of the season. The details of the trades made by the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers are not specified in the provided paragraph. No specific teams or players are mentioned in the "NBA Trade Deadline Recap" paragraph.
