Anaheim Ducks GM Pat Verbeek has informed teams he is willing to "gauge the market" on the Ducks' pending free agents ahead of the March 21 trade deadline, reports Elliotte Friedman of TSN.

Winger Rickard Rakell is among the Ducks who are set for free agency after the season, and Arthur Staple of The Athletic reported last week that the Rangers had shown "increased interest" in trading for him.

According to The Athletic, it could take a first-round pick to acquire Rakell.
