Christopher Li+FollowMarchand’s Message: ‘Pay Me, Zito!’Brad “The Rat” Marchand just helped the Cats go back-to-back, but now he’s making headlines off the ice.

Do you think Marchand’s earned a raise, or should the Panthers focus on keeping their core together? #NHLFreeAgency #Panthers #Marchand #Sports #IceHockey00Share
William Morrow+FollowIsles Eyeing Ehlers: Offseason Gamechanger?Fellow Isles fans, could this be the summer we finally land a true difference-maker on the wing? With the first overall pick locked in and Matty Schaefer likely boosting our blue line, all eyes are now on free agency. NHL insider Arthur Staple just linked us to Nikolaj Ehlers—a legit playmaker who could let Barzy shift back to center.

Sherri West+FollowCould Sam Bennett Be the Jets’ Missing Piece?Jets fans, what do you think about the buzz linking Sam Bennett—fresh off back-to-back Cups with the Cats—to Winnipeg? After clinching the Presidents’ Trophy but falling short in the playoffs, adding a gritty playoff performer like Bennett could be the spark we need to finally get past rivals like the Avs and Stars. His 15 goals in 23 playoff games say it all. Would you pay big to bring him north, or stick with the current core? Let’s hear your takes! #GoJetsGo #NHLFreeAgency #StanleyCup #Sports #IceHockey10Share
Phillip Scott+FollowCould Ekblad Be CBJ’s Missing Piece?Rumors are heating up that the Blue Jackets might make a big splash by landing Aaron Ekblad in free agency. With the Panthers possibly letting the veteran D-man walk, Columbus could finally fill that Seth Jones-sized hole on the right side. Ekblad’s playoff experience and steady presence could be just what the Jackets need to push back into the postseason. Would pairing him with Werenski or Mateychuk make CBJ a legit threat in the Metro? #CBJ #NHLFreeAgency #EkbladWatch #Sports #IceHockey00Share
Sherri West+FollowTkachuk Tells Panthers Stars: Chase the Bag!Big Walt’s son isn’t mincing words—Matthew Tkachuk just told Ekblad, Marchand, and Conn Smythe hero Sam Bennett to cash in this summer, even if it means leaving the Cats. With Florida’s core hitting free agency, Tkachuk’s player-first stance might give GM Zito a headache. But after back-to-back Cups, can the Panthers keep the band together? Zito says they’ll spend to the cap, but Tkachuk’s loyalty is clearly to his teammates’ wallets. Thoughts on this bold move? #Panthers #NHLFreeAgency #StanleyCup #Sports #IceHockey00Share

With contract talks stalling in Florida, where do you think the gritty Conn Smythe winner ends up? Would a U.S. team break the bank for him? #SamBennett #NHLFreeAgency #Panthers #Sports #IceHockey00Share
