NHL:
Given the eight-team no-trade, which teams appear poised to make the most competitive bid for Rakell this season?
Qwiket AI:
Teams with top-six need and cap discipline could bid aggressively, notably difficult-to-pressure clubs with late-first-round picks and solid prospect pools. The eight-team no-trade reduces the pool, narrowing options to a handful with ready-made assets and a favorable cap outlook. Pittsburgh would seek assets that offset the term, ensuring a future payoff rather than a single-season fix.
