Taylor Hall, extended 3x$3.2M by CAR, is a rushing playmaking winger who can still carry the puck up the ice and win races with his speed, contribute on the forecheck, and set up linemates. #RaiseUp

Hi we made a new record. It’s called “At Peace”. It’ll be out May 2nd. You can hear the title track and pre-order the fuckan thing here: propagandhi.ffm.to/atpeace
Craig Smith, acquired by DET, is a veteran bottom-sixer who has been playing sneakily great hockey on the Hawks' fourth line. Creating scoring chances, getting rush shots, forechecking, and producing efficiently. #LGRW
Charlie Coyle, acquired by COL, is a middle-six shoot-first centre. Goes to the net and makes himself available for passes to the slot, has slick hands too. Decent size and physicality, and while he's deployed as a shut-down centre he hasn't had a great D impact. #GoAvsGo
Casey Mittelstadt, acquired by BOS, is a middle-six playmaking centre. After a promising start with the Avs last year has struggled tremendously, creating essentially no chances for himself while getting caved in. Not a checker. Needs a bounceback. #NHLBruins
Luke Kunin, acquired by CBJ, is a physical winger who crashes the net and throws hits. #CBJ
Logan Stankoven, acquired by CAR, is a dynamic young forward. Creative with the puck, a prolific rush player, and a strong playmaker. 5"8 but not afraid to battle or go to tough areas. Insert Canes joke: his only issue this season has been terrible finishing. #Canes
Luke Schenn, acquired by WPG, is a physical veteran defenceman. Throws lots of hits, takes a lot of shots from the point, actually has a little bit of puck-moving utility. One of the slowest players in the league, though. #GoJetsGo
Brandon Tanev, acquired by WPG, is a speedy and physical forechecking winger. Still a dog off the puck but it hasn't added up to the excellent defensive impacts it used to lately. The tools are still there for him to be an effective fourth liner though. #GoJetsGo
Scott Laughton, acquired by TOR, is a third line net-crashing centre who plays with an edge. Crashes the net, retrieves and steals pucks, throws hits. Generally produces pretty well. Finishing touch not amazing. Production has been stable, but impact has bounced back from 23-24.
Anthony Beauvillier, acquired by WSH, is a bottom six winger. Has done reasonably well as a utility guy for the Pens this year, brings a bit of speed. #AllCaps
Dylan Cozens, acquired by OTT, is a young scoring centre who has struggled with consistency. When he’s on, a skilled puck carrier in transition who scores off grimy plays in the slot and cleanly off the rush. When he’s not, he struggles to create quality chances and defend.
Josh Norris, acquired by BUF, is a scoring centre with the tools to be more than that. Extremely efficient shooter, dangerous one-T, tricky shot. Playmaking not quite as good. Great speed, physicality, defensive stick. Needs to put it all together to be a two-way scorer.
Mikko Rantanen, extended 8x$12M by DAL, is a star scoring winger with a track record of high-end chance creation, finishing, and passing, including in the playoffs. Production wasn't there in CAR but underlying results showed terrific playdriving and chance numbers nonetheless.
Jake Walman, acquired by EDM, is an offensive defenceman. Has a big point shot and loves to use it. Good puck mover with a nice stretch pass. Can be a bit turnover prone, not particularly physical. Has had an impressive season all things considered as SJ's #1. #LetsGoOilers
Carson Soucy, acquired by NYR, is a stay-at-home defenceman. Big, battles for pucks, solid defensive stick. Not a fast skater and very limited with the puck. Was very effective as a shutdown guy last season, this year not so much. #NYR
Michael Bunting, acquired by NSH, is a complementary middle six winger who retrieves pucks and goes to the net. #Preds
Luke Schenn, acquired by PIT, is a veteran depth defenceman who throws a ton of hits. #LetsGoPens
Tommy Novak, acquired by PIT, is a versatile scoring forward who's been one of the league's sneaky analytical darlings and efficient producers the past few years. Active forechecker, strong passing ability, carries the puck in transition. #LetsGoPens
Yanni Gourde, acquired by TB, is a two-way centre who crashes the net, harrasses opponents with stick checks, board battles, forechecking, and even hits despite being only 5’9. Plays behind the net and extends possessions by protecting the puck and making low-to-high passes. Poor finishing touch.
Oliver Bjorkstrand, acquired by TB, is a two-way scoring winger who carries the puck in transition and plays a shot-first game at even strength while dishing it on the powerplay. Works hard without the puck and has a good defensive stick. Not big or fast but protects the puck.

Cam Fowler, acquired by STL, is a puck-moving defenceman. Has played way too many minutes in ANA and has been brutal defensively so far this season (has struggled defending the rush especially) but has one of the most accurate stretch passes in the game. No physicality. #STLBlues
