2013 Stanley Cup final vs potential 2026 playoff lineup. Who would you add or remove?
Assuming every best case scenario on prospect development and realistic roster moves. This is not a direct player for player comparison, just filling in the lineup.
Major UFAs going into the 2026 season: Tavares, Marner, Rantenen, Boeser, Backstrom, Crosby, Draisatl, Hedman, Kuznetsov

I miss Kruger and Frolik together.

I doubt Nazar will be a centre in the NHL. Bedard may not end up a centre either but will definitely get a longer look. Projecting that far out when we’re two drafts basically into a rebuild is too tough. We’ve likely not even drafted guys that will be key pieces in 2026 yet.
