Free agents are still available
Sportsnet’s Luke Fox: At this point, the team is fighting for these scraps. This is what an executive created at this time of year. Free agents are almost three weeks now and picking slim. However, there are still some free agents worth noting. One, there is Jack Roslovic. Roslovic’s other players in Carolina last year were about a little bit. Yes, he is inconsistent and is scratched at times, but can be a great player, and teams like Vancouver and Toronto are interested.
Now, Victor Olofsson is the hat casualty in Vegas. Olofsson made only $1.05 million in 2024-25 years. He is a powerful competition expert who can score more than 20 goals. Matt Grzelcyk is also a free agent. The defenseman now appears to be out of Pittsburgh’s plan. Maybe it’s his height (5’10”). Ilya Samsonov is there (also from Las Vegas). However, the goalkeeper landing points are limited this time of year.
Meanwhile, players like Max Pacioretty may retire, but Luke Kunin can eventually find a deal. Similarly, Joel Kiviranta is another buying option in the market.

After that, the market became increasingly like the scraps of Alexandar Georgiev and Kevin Labanc who were there. In the 2025-26 season, one or both can continue crafting overseas, try the PTO route or sign near the lowest deal.

Nick Kypreos from Sportsnet: Therefore, the central market is very thin. It’s like saying that water is wet. Nazem Kadri expects to gain more and more appeal in Calgary. Then, there are the Pittsburgh penguins. With players like Bryan Rust, Erik Karlsson and Rickard Rakell, it would be fun to see when Kyle Dubas is doing the move or moving. The wait is long.
Now, the salary cap in Florida is over $3.725 million, and if Matthew Tkachuk or someone isn’t placed on the LTIR, Evan Rodrigues has a slight chance of being relocated. He is currently making $3 million and the team will have a chance to acquire him. The same goes for Marco Rossi, but then there were these salary requirements. Also, maybe Bill Guerin is waiting after making the Kirill Kaprizov extension.
NHL Rumors: Jared McCann and Mason McTavish
Everyone is talking about Martin Necas’ uncertainty, but Jonathan Marchessault is a name that can be popped up. In the right team, the winger can still score 30 points. Last year was a nightmare in Nashville, with only 21 goals, but a goal scorer like him can bounce back.
