Maple Leafs Brandon Carlo tried hard to get Brad Marchand to Toronto
Luke Fox from Sportnet: Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving said he tried hard to land a top-six wing player this season, but there were not much available. Leafs defender Brandon Carlo did his bit by trying to recruit former teammate Brad Marchand before he was again signed with the Florida Panthers.
“I had spoken with him, and there had been conversations there, and I felt that he certainly had the interest in coming here. In the end it didn’t happen that way. But that would have been fantastic,” said Carlo. “Now we just have to compete against him and hopefully beat him here soon.”
The New York Rangers are able to spend the following season, but will there be big names to sign?
Peter Baugh and Vince Z. Mercogliano of the athletics: The New York Rangers were clearly planning for this season, but the next season is a crucial for them. They will have more salary cape and grid flexibility. The cap is expected to be up to $ 104 million, and the $ 11.643 million from Artemi Panarin comes from the books. There is no hurry to get the upcoming 34-year-old extension.
They currently have 16 players (11 attackers, 4 defense and 1 goalkeeper) under contract for next season for $ 73,767 million cap -hit. Defenseman Brendan Schneider is their largest RFA. Sign it again, add a backup keeper and they can leave a few depths with around $ 20 million to spend to players or two.
They can also free more CAP space by trading Alexis Lafreniere ($ 7.45 million) because he has no trade protection until 2027. In addition, Vincent Trocheck ($ 5,625 million) now only has a list of 12 teams.
The Free Agent Group 2026 can be huge, but only if the majority does not sign again before the market tests 1 July. The top group includes Connor McDavid, Kirill Kaprizov and Jack Eichel, followed by Panarin, Kyle Connor, Adrian Kempe, Martin Norkas and Alex Tuch. The Rangers have previously tried to exchange for Eichel, when he was with the Buffalo Sabres. Dallas plays Jason Robertson forward is an interesting hanging RFA.
The current top three centers of the Rangers are all 32 and come from Subpar seasons – Trocheck, Mika Zibanejad and JT Miller.
