bottem pair that did very well in the playoffs but will he have that kind of production ever again or is he gonna go back to the level of production when he was on flames is he gonna be BIG Z or another Tyler Myers? who knows

[@akivaabraham7739]

@@YPM-fx4yj I bet him being around Hughes and under a tocchet system really upped his game; Being able to be around the world's best defenseman definitely influenced his play because his offence really started to go off when he was traded. So that price will only justify itself if he has top tier defensemen having his back.

[@LittleBoomey28]

As a Canes fan, i’m in pain right now. We have lost basically every free agent, and we didn’t trade necas😢

[@CaptinJackalope]

The Kings probably won't be going for a center. They're probably moving Byfield back to the middle to fill the spot vacated by PLD, so the one center spot they would need filled is that of the 4C, with could probably be filled from within the organization

[@keroflobs]

Lizotte is hitting FA so now I could potentially see them going for that even with Turc/Thomas taking a C spot

[@eyekantbeme]

Besides getting scoring we need left D that can handle playing with Dewy.

I'd be shocked if the Leafs got both Zadorov and Bertuzzi, especially since they are going to sign Tanev and just resigned Domi You'd think that overpaying for 3 players would put them at the cap limit but its weird how it never seems to.

[@JakkuTheMotivationalDon]

god i'd love if patty kane came back to chicago to play with bedard

[@37willdog]

I think Stamkos ends up in Nashville. They have a lot of cap space, Tennessee has no state income tax, and he’s the type of player that Trotz would covet

[@pjpredhomme7699]

Seems like Nashville would be a good fit - just wonder if he likes their style of play - not sure - have not watched them much with Brunette but it would seem like a good fit and Nashville definitely needs scoring.

[@ronreinhold8997]

Columbus

[@cameronfranke8566]

Nahhh Detroit does too and he would t want to play in Nashville,Detroit is a better fit for stamkos and exactly what we need for our offense and defense,so therefore he’s gonna go to Detroit and stamkos even said on an article already that he believes Detroit would be the team he believes he could win a Stanley cup with in a couple of years and he’s not wrong red wings are on the rise,GO WINGS GO

I want Stammers in Mtl so bad. This year can be the year we begin to turn it around and a veteran point per game leader would be amazing for our young core, especially with his connection to Marty

[@bravepotatoe7513]

I disagree he's 34 and trying to get paid and very likely to regress to a point his contract is heavy on the cap in about 2-3 years exactly when MTL's core should be developed and a contender

[@ConnorMudge]

@@bravepotatoe7513 realistically we would only be talking about a 1 to 2 year deal, Slaf is getting paid next year but mtl has over 9 mil available rn with plenty getting freed up next year between armia and Dvos contracts

[@Unholy_Louie]

No. Just no. Understand the enthusiasm for a such a legend, but it wouldn't be wise. We need another year to see what we have. If the guy was 26-28, sure dude, 100%. Also let's be frank, the Habs have the habit of catching the freaking black plague especially the season before the last one; I mean Christ...). And considering Stammer's injury past... Finally, the explicitly said that they want their younglings the space to play, to show what they can be. Too many vets that aren't part of the future goes against that philosophy.

[@ConnorMudge]

@@Unholy_Louie i understand where youre coming from, i think getting a top 6 vet like stamkos would help the young players a lot though.

[@leguy5662]

update that LA Kings logo

[@nummytacos128]

I'm looking at Vegas's cap space and I really don't know how they get under the cap without trading some big name. 1.8m in cap space and they don't even have a full roster ready. They still need to sign Petera and a couple bottom six forwards. With Theodore due for a pay raise in the 2026 season, it's gonna be hard for them to keep their core. Barbashev probably being shopped right now.

[@alexwinstan4553]

Another player I think the Canucks sign if they dont sign Stephenson is Daniel Sprong . Sprong would be the perfect top 6 forward the Canucks.

[@alexwinstan4553]

I don't think Tyler Toffoli signs with the Canucks I think the Senators sign Tyler Toffoli that is my prediction.

[@stephenmerasty1420]

I don't understand why Canada couldn't give pro hockey players tax exemptions at a reduced rate and tax incentives for donating to Canadian charity organizations. Then there's an incentive to come to Canada. Players don't get taxed too hard and they keep some by giving back to the community. As a Canadian, I could care less if a pro is paying their taxes. I'd just like to see the opposite of what our reputation has become. Let's up our chances and make Canada the premier for Hockey again

[@Kuffdad]

Marchessaust and Teravainen would be amazing to pair with Bedard

[@Fenrirmaster30]

Teravainen would be such a great signing for Chicago! Not so sure I like Marchessault, he's a little old for what the team is going for at the moment, I feel like even Teravainen at turning 30 this year is pushing it.

[@kennycai8695]

For Stamkos, I know one destination that I do not want him to go to: Pittsburgh. For two reasons. One, there is no need to inflate the egos of entitled Yinzers any further. Even if acquiring Erik Karlsson did little to help them get to the playoffs, getting big marquee names is always an excuse these Yinzers need to flex and posture around everyone, which is pretty annoying when you have to interact with them on a regular basis. Two, Stamkos is 34 years old, and this is the age where the inevitable wear and tear kicks in, not the kind of guy the Penguins need in their organization. Their core is aging, their prospect pool is virtually non-existent, this team needs to think about building a future after the Crosby era, instead of deluding themselves into thinking they can be the next Golden State Warriors (as in a literal All-Star lineup).

[@frozenrabbit5641]

Well I still hope Teräväinen signs with Canes. Was kind of hoping as Guentzel left money would be used to keep the working core. But then again, maybe Tarasenko and Teräväinen switch places. That would be nice... for Panthers. Utah might pull some big buy like Stamkos or Marchessault, but might find use for Teräväinen as well.
