The NHL trade deadline is fast approaching, and whether your team is competing for the Stanley Cup or competing for right to draft Connor McDavid there is a good chance they will be in the market for some sort of move before then.In the days and weeks leading up to the March 2 deadline, Eye Raul Neto Jersey On Hockey will take a look at select players from around the league that could be on the move with an everything you need to know primer.We start with forward , perhaps the ultimate wild card at the 2015 trade deadline.Why he might be availableIt's very simple, really. He plays for a team -- Buffalo -- that is the worst in the league and he is in the final year of his contract and will be eligible for free agency after the season. He has zero long-term value to the Sabres aside from the second- or third-round draft pick or mid-level prospect he will bring them from a contender. And Rui Hachimura Jersey if you don't think the Sabres won't be selling off whoever they can over the next month, just remember this ...Ted Nolan is encouraging the Sabres who are trade candidates to "make it happen" with fine play. "Maybe somebody will see you and want you." John Vogl (@BuffNewsVogl) Stewart is an interesting case because he is the type of player that just about every general manager in the league would like to acquire if he is not already on their roster. He has the ma sive size that teams covet, he will drop the gloves and fight on occasion, and he has all of the tools and physical attributes that scream "NHL power forward."He even scored 28 goals in back-to-back seasons earlier in his career.That is the good news.The bad news is he is also the type of player that pretty much every general manager in the league will look to trade or get rid of at some point once they get him on their team because the on-ice result doesn't always match the expectations, and those two 28-goal seasons are pretty far in the rear view mirror. In the seasons that have followed he has only scored 57 goals in 237 games. That is about 18 goals every 82 games. He can be a maddening player.All of that that might explain why he has been traded twice since 2011 and is likely to be moved again over the next month. Chances he gets moved: Extremely likelyNothing is ever a 100 percent certainty, but if he is not playing for a different team on March 3 it would be a pretty stunning development given the Sabres' historically bad season and Stewart Robin Lopez Jersey 's contract status. It would also be a reckle s move by the Sabres' front office. He shouldn't be a long-term building block in Buffalo so he's probably not getting re-signed, and even though the return will not be significant, the slim chance of a draft pick or mid-level prospect panning out in the future is better than nothing.Should your team acquire him?The funny thing is, for all of Stewart's flaws he is actually the type of player that could end up working out for a team down the stretch as a rental because he can be great and extremely productive in small doses. Every player in the NHL is streaky to some degree when it comes to their production, and Stewart is no exception. If anything, he is perhaps than the average NHL player. Every year he will have a six or 10 game stretch where he just goes off and scores six or Gary Payton II Jersey seven goals, which goes back to why teams can at times want to take a chance on him. He flashes that ability that blinds teams into thinking it's what they are going to get all the time, when it is really just a mirage.With four goals in his past four games, he could be getting close to one of those stretches. When it comes to rental players you're Trevor Ariza Jersey talking about a couple of months and maybe 20 or 30 games. It's not a long-term investment and what the player did prior to joining your team and what he does after leaving your team is of no importance to you. You're basically buying a lottery ticket and hoping that it hits.With Stewart, you are either going to strike it rich and get a bunch of goals, or it's going to be a complete bust and you are going to get nothing.When it comes to trading for Chris Stewart ... how lucky are you feeling?
