Once Radim Vrbata is dealt, other trades are expected to follow.
Craig Custance of ESPN reports the Flames, Bruins, Panthers, Penguins and Islanders are all interested in Vrbata.
Vrbata, 35, owns 15 goals and 47 points in 62 games this season. He is slated to become a free agent this summer.

Ho-Sang was called up and then sent down again yesterday.
9:22am: More waiting on Vrbata?
Pierre LeBrun noted earlier the market for Thomas Vanek may not form until Radim Vrbata is dealt.

Custance notes that there is no current movement on the Ondrej Pavelec trade front.

The Penguins added Ron Hainsey last week to help deal with a rash of injuries to their blue line.

Dorion said the team will only deal Curtis Lazar if it's a "hockey trade." Dorion said the team has invested a lot in the 2013 first-round pick.

Dorion then suggested a trade for TSN... "We'd like to trade Brent Wallace for Sara Orlesky.''

8:25am: Panthers set to pounce?
Craig Custance of ESPN reports the Florida Panthers were in on Jannik Hansen before he was traded to the San Jose Sharks and remain interested in adding a scoring winger.
Custance believes the Panthers could go after Thomas Vanek or Radim Vrbata, if the price is right.
8:15am: Price for Lazar remains high
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports the Ottawa Senators have received an offer of a second-round pick for Curtis Lazar, but won't move him for that return.
Garrioch believes the team would move the former first-round pick for a first-rounder, while Dreger notes a quality prospect could get a deal done.
8:05am: Hamonic's staying put
TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports the New York Islanders will not be trading Travis Hamonic, who pulled his trade request last summer.
Dreger reports that the Islanders are, however, in the market for a forward today. The Islanders sit one point back of the Maple Leafs for the second wild-card spot.
8:02am: One domino, then another?
LeBrun notes Thomas Vanek's market will begin to form once Radim Vrbata is traded. Vrbata has 15 goals and 47 point this season to Vanek's 15 goals and 38 points. Both are set to become free agents this summer.
