Johnny Oduya will be out for tonight’s game against the Islanders. Since he is the last year of his contract might he be traded before the deadline? One team that could be interested is Montreal.

One of the most solid defenders, who may available for a trade, is Dallas Stars veteran Denfensemen Johnny Oduya. (A Winning Habit@Fansided)
