NHL’s Top 10 Contracts of 2025: Which Stars Are Winning Big—and Who’s the Biggest Surprise?

We’ll see what his second full season holds, but right now it looks like Utah got a spectacular deal.
8. Lucas Raymond
Contract: $8.1M x seven years
Surplus Value: $31M
Positive Value Probability: 92 percent
Lucas Raymond has reached another level. That was clear to close out the 2023-24 season and confirmed the following year with a near point-per-game season. Raymond is the real deal and the Red Wings are about to benefit greatly from it.
That’s because of his $8.1 million cap hit, an amount that will equate to a high-end second-line player during the remainder of Raymond’s deal. It’s a mark he looks likely to blow past. Raymond is already a bona fide top-line talent and looks likely to ascend to stardom as he enters his prime. He’s on track to become a franchise winger, a legit star-level threat and his current price tag is a pittance for the kind of value he should bring.
