The Ottawa Senators are reportedly interested in acquiring Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames if contract negotiations between Andersson and the Flames falter. Meanwhile, the Winnipeg Jets face tough contract decisions with looming UFAs like Nikolaj Ehlers, who is projected for a lucrative deal, potentially affecting their top six. A bidding war could drive up the price for Ehlers, while the Jets prioritize signing Kyle Connor to a potential $11 million contract extension. Other contracts on the horizon include RFA defenseman Dylan Samberg and forward Gabriel Vilardi, complicating the Jets' offseason plans.
