An Early Look at the NHL Free Agent Class of 2025

Locked On NHL - Daily Podcast On The National Hockey League

The NHL has a star studded potential free agent class next summer with star players like Leon Draisaitl., Sidney Crosby, Mitch Marner and John Tavares heading the list. But what are these players worth if they hit the open market and how can some of these teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Avalanche and Edmonton Oilers fit them under the cap?

We also discuss players like Aaron Ekblad, Igor Shesterkin, Linus Ullmark and Mikko Rantanen who can all also be free agents next summer. Who reaches the open market, who gets traded and who is likely to re-sign with their current team?

All this and more on today's Locked On NHL Podcast with Rachel Donner and Gil Martin.
