Don't let Toronto's playoff woes fool you. Coming off a career-high 102 points, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/mitch-marner/3819">Mitch Marner</a> is a magician with the puck and unquestionably the crown jewel of the 2025 UFA class. The question isn't whether the 28-year-old is in for a massive pay day, but rather how high the annual value will climb in what is expected to be a bidding war for his services.

Some love his grit, others hate his antics. But come playoff time, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/sam-bennett/4060">Sam Bennett</a> always shows up. His blend of physicality and timely goals makes him an ideal signing for any Cup contender.

Speed kills, and <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/nikolaj-ehlers/4024">Nikolaj Ehlers</a> has plenty of it. Despite a few injury setbacks, he has scored 20+ goals in eight of his ten NHL seasons. That kind of consistency is hard to ignore.

3. Nikolaj Ehlers

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Ekblad-768x432.jpg

2024-25 Stats: 56 GP | 3 G | 30 A | 33 PTS
Career Stats: 732 GP | 118 G | 262 A | 380 PTS
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/aaron-ekblad/4059">Aaron Ekblad's</a> been a cornerstone on the Panthers’ blue line for over a decade, helping power them to three straight Cup Final appearances. A 20-game PED suspension raised some eyebrows, but his on-ice response has silenced most critics. He’s still the top defenseman hitting the market.

4. Aaron Ekblad

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/john-tavares/3812">John Tavares</a> showed he still has plenty left in the tank, as evidenced by his 38 tallies. His elite touch around the net and faceoff dominance offer veteran value at a discount.

Productive two-way centers are always in demand. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/brock-nelson/3874">Brock Nelson's</a> 54 points in 85 career playoff games only add to his appeal.
Update: Nelson has re-signed with the Avalanche on a three-year, $22.5 million contract

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/vladislav-gavrikov/3384">Vladislav Gavrikov</a> doesn't boast the offensive upside of some of the league's elite blueliners, but his shutdown skills and physicality add tremendous value, particularly come playoff time.

Durable and dependable, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/ivan-provorov/3676">Ivan Provorov</a> hasn’t missed a game in three seasons. He skates well, moves the puck efficiently, and eats minutes — exactly what teams want in a top-four D-man.

2024-25 Stats: 75 GP | 25 G | 25 A | 50 PTS 
Career Stats: 554 GP | 204 G | 230 A | 434 PTS
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/brock-boeser/3496">Brock Boeser's</a> got a wicked shot, no doubt. But after lighting the lamp 40 times in 2023-24, his drop to 25 this season has again raised concerns about his consistency. Still, the talent is undeniable, and if he finds the right fit, he could easily get back to sniping at an elite level.

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/players/matt-duchene/3443">Matt Duchene's</a> quiet playoff run shouldn't erase a highly productive regular season. He’s still a slick offensive talent and could be a bargain for teams looking to add scoring punch.
