They went into the break only three points out of the playoffs so there is definitely a chance.

If they play well out of the break they could look to be buyers at the trade deadline. They might be looking for a piece to add to their group to help stabilize them going into their playoff chase. They are likely not going to find anything that makes them a true contender for the Stanley Cup but with a core of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews you just never know.

One team that is going to be sellers for sure is the New Jersey Devils. They went into the season with extremely high expectations but a bunch of different scenarios has led to them not living up to those expectations. They are going to be looking to move the rest of their expiring contracts as they look to build towards the future.
