Armchair GM Thread 2025/26

I don't know this space. Anyone look interesting?
I skipped all the players with asterisks who have signed minor league deals, since it's pretty rare to see guys like that get poached right away. The only remaining player who's initial hockeydb page made me a little more intrigued was Dominic James, a 23 year old centre who was drafted in the 6th round by Chicago in 2022. Kind of Jacob Quillan-y. Chicago was hoping to sign him but it looks like they were informed back in April that he'd be going the UFA route.

Sounds like a Detroit or Buffalo signing
 
I saw this floating around the non-mainstream speculators, and it would be very funny if it happened.

New Jersey is not shopping him, but they are listening to overtures for Dougie Hamilton as his NMC shifted to mNTC. Vancouver is at a bit of a crossroads with their captain Quinn Hughes approaching UFA and their GM has openly wondered* if he wants to be united with his brothers Jack and Luke in New Jersey (or perhaps in Vancouver).

* I love Vancouver's front office pressers; always a gas

Musical Chairs trade
VAN: receives Morgan Rielly
TOR: receives Dougie Hamilton
NJD: receives Quinn Hughes

I would have no problem with it.
