NHL Free Agency 2025: The Surprising Game-Changer Every Team Can’t Afford to Miss
Vegas Golden Knights
Mitch Marner
Adding another big contract comes with risk, especially with Jack Eichel eligible for an extension on July 1, but Marner and Vegas could be a perfect match. Strong up the middle and on defense, Vegas’ biggest need is scoring on the wing. That, combined with this club’s history of aggressively pursuing prized players, means it will be surprising if the Golden Knights aren’t in the Marner sweepstakes. — Jesse Granger
Washington Capitals
Jack Roslovic
Fun as it’d be to wish-cast someone such as Marner or Ehlers to Washington, this is a team without a ton of money to spend (less than $10 million), and with faith in the top of its lineup and a glaring need at third-line center. Figuring that out should be priority No. 1. Connor McMichael is an internal option, but Roslovic would be a nice bottom-six fallback plan who can also play right wing. — Sean Gentille
