[Big Daddy Cane]

There's not a lot intrigue with the 2025 class. Given Toronto's competitive position, Marner probably walks if he doesn't re-sign. Same thing with Rantanen. The media will have fun with Crosby, but that's a gigantic question mark in reality.

The 2026 class could be fun. Kaprizov and Connor stand out. Players on teams stuck in the mid (1 playoff series win combined this decade).

 

[Voight]

Kaprizov.

 

[M Ace]

Nylander

 

[innitfam]

Nylander

Doesn't he have a full NMC?

 

[HockeyVirus]

Marner

 

[EastVillageBlues]

I will probably be wrong, but let's say Chabot.

 

[MXD]

Jeremy Swayman.

 

[Fatass]

Zegras.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Zegras.

I think this is my guess aswell

 

[BonMorrison]

Hopefully Marner.

 

[Leviathan]

Nazem Kadri

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Zegras seems like a good guess but they’d be selling low .

Yup. Any club getting Zegras will be getting the next superstar player and for cheap.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

So Zegras has star potential… I think this should be someone with more bonafides. I know we debate star, superstar etc a lot. But if there is a reclamation aspect that hits different than a “star” trade. Like this should be more shocking than someone we have trade speculation on for months in most cases in my opinion.

I will throw out Werenski, I think he brings back assets CBJ needs. I guess we will see, this is always hard to predict. True trading of a star is losing someone people around here think is untouchable in most cases.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

I will probably be wrong, but let's say Chabot.

Star ?

 

[ViD]

Does Nichushkin count as a star player ?

 

[10Ducky10]

I will probably be wrong, but let's say Chabot.

I'd trade Ehlers for Chabot.

 

[VaporTrail]

Owen Power

 

[My3Sons]

Presumably it will be one of the stars with an expiring deal on a bad team who isn’t emotionally tied to his current club.

 

[hockeyguy0022]

Zebras to Calgary is a good spot. Minimal contract left, can see if he develops, have the money for long term If wanted, if not can flip for a pick. basically 0 risk, all upside.

Is there a player in the NHL that won't walk if they don't re-sign?

 

[TS Quint]

Marner

He's getting a big fat Leafs contact no later than January. I bet you will be happy with it.

 

[TS Quint]

The Ducks don't exist to me. Why is Zegras poison?

 

[StuckOutHere]

I feel like the out of leftfield guess would be Kaprizov.
