## Resource

Flyers are poised to lock up Dan Vladar with a five-year, mid-$5M deal after his breakout season and playoff heroics, potentially turning a solid performer into a steal. Meanwhile, Vegas may promote Ryan Craig to head coach, signaling their former coach was never the long-term answer — and could open the door for him to pursue opportunities elsewhere, like Edmonton. The Oilers remain in coaching limbo, with Mike Babcock still a top target but uncertainty looming, forcing them to consider alternatives like Tortorella or Sutter. Their goaltending woes persist, with Tristan Jarry’s experiment failing and Connor Ingram likely hitting free agency. Veteran Jacob Markstrom, under contract until 2026 at $6M, could be a surprise fit if the Devils agree to salary retention. And while Connor Hellebuyck hasn’t formally requested a trade, his growing frustration and the Jets’ lack of offseason movement could push him toward a deal — possibly with the Devils — if Winnipeg doesn’t make a splash.
