The goaltender known as ‘Bob’ is on the verge of changing places once more in his illustrious NHL career. Sergei Bobrovsky is the most intriguing player available when free agency opens after backstopping the Florida Panthers to Stanley Cup championships in 2024 and ’25.

Also a two-time Vezina Trophy winner as the league’s top goalie, Bobrovsky turns 38 just before next season begins and could be the final piece for a contender looking for help at the most important position in hockey. The top free agents available include Anders Lee, Patrick Kane, Matias Maccelli, Eeli Tolvanen, Anthony Mantha, and Boone Jenner.
On the defensive side, Rasmus Andersson could be in for a significant payday if Vegas is not able to work out a deal to bring him back. John Carlson is another right-handed shooter, and at 36 he brings title-winning experience from his 16-plus seasons in Washington.
In goal, Stuart Skinner, who was on the losing end of those finals with the Oilers, is among the options and is in his late 20s. So is Daniil Tarasov, who was Bobrovsky’s backup last season in Florida.
