NHL free agency big board: Where does Marner land? Who are the other top options?
Briefly

The NHL offseason is poised for significant changes as the salary cap is expected to rise to $95.5 million next season and continue climbing to $113.5 million by 2027-28. This projection may allow teams to retain players or lead to inflated offers for free agents, particularly for notable names like Mitch Marner. With the potential for heightened competition in free agency, teams must adapt to the dynamics created by the cap increase, exploring both unrestricted and restricted free agent markets for talent retention and acquisition.
As NHL teams prepare for the offseason, a rising salary cap may impact contract negotiations, enabling players to secure higher offers in free agency.
Key unrestricted free agents like Mitch Marner may receive inflated offers, leading to speculation that his time in Toronto could come to an end.
