As game five of the Western Conference Finals between Vegas and Dallas captivates the majority of the hockey world, other teams are already setting their sights on the upcoming season. More specifically, they are scrutinizing the roster of free agents poised to be available.
Renowned Hockey Insider Frank Seravalli is also engrossed in this speculation, and has shared his predictions for the top five free agents, focusing specifically on right wingers.
Kane Will Get Plenty Of Offers Around The League
Alex Killorn, the steadfast power forward for the Lightning, is expected to return to Tampa Bay. Despite a perceived decline in speed, his influence in the Bolts' locker room is undeniable. A four-year contract at $5.25 million per annum would be a sensible offer for his caliber.
Killorn Would Be A Nice Pick-up For Any Team
Patrick Kane, a legend in his own right, continues to command respect. Though his performance may not mirror his glory days, his value to any team is unquestionable. Given his reputation and experience, finding a team to sign with will likely be effortless for him.
Vladimir Tarasenko, recognized as a true goal scorer, is another top pick. Any team should be interested in acquiring his talents. However, the final decision will ultimately lie with him. According to Seravalli, Tarasenko's performance merits a $5 million average annual value (AAV) over a three-year contract.
Evgeny Dadonov's tenure with Montreal may have been marked by disappointment, but his subsequent trade to the Stars seems to have rejuvenated his career. He plays an integral role for Dallas in the playoffs. Nonetheless, it would be unexpected if he were to sign a long-term contract.
Connor Brown, who sat out most of the previous season due to an injury, is still predicted to secure a contract for the next year. His past performance and potential recovery promise an optimistic future.
