5. Jeff Skinner

Skinner never really has been a buy-high (even in his best seasons, he's had just 33 goals and 63 points), but his value has never been lower. Many think of him as a Band-Aid boy, but this season may be the final straw for many owners as Skinner has just 10 goals and 19 points in 44 games. I'm a firm believer that those numbers will turn around long-term as the Hurricanes slowly rebuild and get better. Skinner is still just 22 years old, so there's plenty of time for him to hit his prime.

4. Robin Lehner

Lehner has struggled this season, but if you still believe he has the goods to be a top number one goalie in the NHL, this is your opportunity. He's probably still at least two years away from being the Sens top netminder however, so if you deal for him, you need to be patient. For guys who do own him, there has to be a level of frustration. Many hoped he could snag 30-40 starts this season, but his performance hasn't allowed that to happen. In 18 games, he's just 7-8-2 with a 3.14 GAA and .903 save percentage.

3. Matt Duchene

Duchene was seen as can't miss player. He was just under a point-per-game in each of the last two seasons. He's on a young exciting team in Colorado, surrounded by lots of talent. Yet he is struggling mightily this season, with 31 points in 50 games, on pace for 50 points exactly. If you're a believer that the Avs can turn it around next year, he's a must-buy, as you can get him way cheaper now than at any time before in his career.

2. Nathan MacKinnon

This may be your only opportunity to buy low on him. I remember in the forums last summer, owners were turning down offers of Evgeni Malkin for MacKinnon because of MacKinnon's upside and Malkin's penchant for frequently getting injured. (In this thread, the first couple of posters remarked they couldn't trade Malkin straight up for MacKinnon, and in this one, poolies are discussing the fact so many people were asking for Giroux or Malkin, with the Giroux and Malkin owners having to add to that). But people need to remember that MacKinnon is still just a teenager. Sure, he's hitting a sophomore slump (although everyone on Colorado has been struggling this season), but his long-term upside hasn't changed. You may never get him for cheaper than you will right now.

1. Taylor Hall

I'm sure there are plenty of Hall owners who are feeling pretty frustrated with Hall right now. Although he's not having the greatest season, he's once again injured, and seems to have cemented a place on the Band-Aid boy list (and this is coming from someone who argued against it for a long time). If Hall was healthy for the full season, he'd be on pace for just 58 points. Take away his current injury, and he's looking like a 50-55 point guy. After two straight seasons finishing in the top 10 in points, this is frustrating. If a fellow owner is competing for a playoff spot, this may be your chance to snag Hall for someone who is overachieving.
