The Twitter account I like to follow a lot, NHL_Watcher, went ahead and made their predictions for the opening of the free agent market.
Here are his predictions:
Malkin --> PIT
Giroux --> FLA
Kessel --> SEA
Letang --> PIT
MAF --> STL
Gaudreau --> NJ
Radulov --> VAN
Forsberg --> SEA
Leddy --> PHI
Palat --> TB
Domi --> TOR
Niederreiter --> BOS
Burakovsky --> WSH
Trocheck --> BOS
Kadri --> DET
Kuemper --> EDM
Deslauriers --> PHI
Klingberg --> SEA
Manson --> TOR
Rakell --> LA
Stastny --> MTL
Greiss --> PHI
Chiarot --> PHI
Vatrano --> TOR
Nichushkin --> DET
Eakin --> BOS
Holtby --> TOR
Paul --> PHI
DeSmith --> WSH
Copp --> FLA
Did you read that right, Paul Stastny, the son of former Nordiques star Peter, with the Habs?
I have a hard time believing this prediction, considering that the Habs' center line will look like Suzuki, Wright, Dvorak and Evans/Poehling next season.
Especially since, at 36, Stastny will probably be looking to win the Stanley Cup and not play for a team that finished 32nd last season.
On the other hand, such a veteran, who is still able to perform, would be interesting to help Montreal's youth.
The Quebec City native scored 45 points in 71 games last season. Let's put it this way, he's not done!
