Vegas Golden Knights can pair Marner with Jack Eichel for Stanley Cup run
It wouldn't be surprising to see the Vegas Golden Knights be involved because they seemingly are always involved and trying to get back to winning a Stanley Cup. Among the five teams on this list, the Golden Knights have won the Stanley Cup the most recent after winning it in 2023.
In addition to the point that the Vegas Golden Knights can say they have done it recently, they offer the opportunity to play alongside a superstar like Jack Eichel. There is no question that Macklin Celebrini will get to that level one day, Eichel is in the prime of his career right now and is coming off a season with a career-high 94 points.
By the Golden Knights already having a superstar like Eichel, it can take some pressure off Marner as he won't need to be the top player but can compliment Eichel in a way that elevates both of their play. The challenge for the Golden Knights is that they have the least cap space of any of these teams so they will need to make some additional moves to be in a position to offer a contract that is comparable to some of the other teams.
