2025-2026 Off Season Thread - The Rehappening

I think you're going to find better value taking on a few Macelli's than you are going after Granlund's in UFA.

The good news is that we don't really "need" anything that's on the free agent market.

Just a rough outline based on who is in the org right now:

Knies-Matthews-Domi
Macelli-Tavares-Nylander
Robertson-Roy-McMann
Lorentz-Laughton-Jarnkrok

McCabe-Tanen
Mo-Carlo
Benoit-OEL

There's always places you can improve of course. Mo-Carlo could be improved on. We could use an improvement on the wing, Tavares-Roy probably aren't championship 2-3 centre group. But none of it is bad and necessitate doing something stupid in free agency.

If more Macelli's are out there at whatever position though, sure, take a swing.
If it does end up like this, there will be some easy moves to make to free up $15M for McDavid next year.

Domi easy trade, Maccelli will have value but is off the books anyway, McMann and Laughton UFAs, Jarn gone next week, Robertson a simple move. Cap rising and no one but Stolarz expiring that we would need to bring back.
