Could Adrian Kempe’s Next Move Redefine Kyle Connor’s Value in the NHL Market?
NHLRumors.com Note
There will be a lot of big-time free agents next year in 2026. However, as we saw in 2025, many of them stayed home, as these teams have an advantage with the salary cap increase. But as we see with every negotiation and free agent class, the person who signs first sets the market for other players. This will be the case if Kempe signs for Connor. If you look at comparables, Connor is a better player than Kempe, and both could get $10 million, considering how desperate both the Winnipeg Jets and Los Angeles Kings would be to lose either player.
