Countdown to Chaos: 10 NHL Stars Whose Surprising Trades Could Shake the 2025-26 Season
This is a critical season in Buffalo. In Tuch, the Sabres have a big, fast power forward with a proven ability to put the puck in the net. He’s the kind of player they’ll be looking to keep around long term, but he’s also too valuable to potentially lose for nothing, especially if they aren’t firmly in the playoff race come the trade deadline.
5. Jean-Gabriel Pageau, New York Islanders
Age: 32
Position: Center
Contract term: 2026 UFA
Cap hit: $5 million
A versatile right-shot center with plenty of big-game experience, Pageau will find himself in demand if the Islanders start to sell before the trade deadline. Not only is he strong in the faceoff circle and a capable penalty killer, but he’s also shown an ability to produce some offense down the lineup.
