Countdown to Chaos: 10 NHL Stars Whose Surprising Trades Could Shake the 2025-26 Season
While it’s still early to roll out a full-blown Big Board, it’s not too soon to start identifying some of the names that could play a role in the upcoming trading season.
Let’s start with 10 players to watch.
1. Rasmus Andersson, Calgary Flames
Age: 28
Position: RHD
Contract term: 2026 UFA
Cap hit: $4.55 million
The subject of trade talk since the summer, Andersson is a pending unrestricted free agent who represents the biggest chip for Flames management to play if the team doesn’t get itself back on track following a dreadful start. The veteran right-shot defenseman remains open to staying in Calgary on an extension, but with his 29th birthday approaching and the organization looking toward the future, a move appears more likely.
