A name that I think is interesting is Vancouvers Kirill Kaprizov. His stat line is through the roof.
GP 46 - G - 27 - A - 30 - +/- -1
They can't afford to keep him. He's 25 and will go UFA if he doesn't sign. This is his first year in the NHL. Plays LW. Currently making 900K or so. Such a strange player to analyze. His team has tried (unsuccessfully) to out score their problems, and he's been a big contributor to that. But with over a point per game ... how the eff are you a minus?
Watching to see what they do with this absolute windfall... Who hasn't helped them at all at capturing points in the regular season grind. And he's never played an NHL playoff game in his life. Super interesting to me.
