NHL Rumour Report: Chiarot trade appears imminent, several teams in the mix


A Ben Chiarot deal could happen very quickly here.

- Ben Chiarot rumblings continue to grow as teams make their final pitch for the pending UFA defensemen.


- The news that a healthy Chiarot will sit out tonight's game - and any games before the Monday deadline - is a strong indication as any that a trade is imminent.


- Several teams are believed to be strongly in the mix, including the Blues and Flames. The Panthers, Bruins, Rangers, Kings, Leafs and Hurricanes have also kicked tires.
 
- With the Avalanche acquiring Josh Manson, an injury to Jakob Chychrun and rumours that John Klingberg has been pulled from trade talks, the market has begun to zone in on Chiarot.
 
- The trade landscape is bound to shift pretty rapidly in the next few days. Stay tuned by following NHL Rumour Report on Facebook and Twitter for the latest Ben Chiarot and trade deadline updates!
