#18 – Jordan Kyrou

Jordan Kyrou is a player who was born and raised in Toronto. The Leafs would love to see the center in blue and white. If it’s ever going to happen, there is a small window where Kyrou can be moved.

That doesn’t seem likely as Kyrou is about to begin his new eight year contract worth $65M. It carries an AAV of $8.125M. The first two years of that deal hold no movement restrictions. A no-trade clause kicks in for the 2025-26 season and carries on until the contract expires.

Kyrou broke out as a star in the NHL this past season. In 79 games, the 25-year-old put together a fantastic campaign. He reached 73 points on 37 goals and 36 assists.

17# – Pierre-Luc Dubois

Pierre-Luc Dubois entered the NHL in dynamic fashion. Drafted third overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2016, he became the organization’s leader for a rookie when he posted 48 points on 20 goals and 28 assists in 2017-18.

Dubois has continued to develop into an offensive weapon for his teams. He is coming off a 63 point campaign. In 73 games he notched 27 goals and 36 assists.

Dubois is about to begin playing on a brand new contract. It’s an eight-year pact that pays him $68M, with an AAV of $8.5M. Although, he doesn’t have a no-move or no-trade clause this season, one does come into play beginning next year. The contract was likely structured this way so that he could be traded from the Jets to the Kings.

That’s exactly what happened before the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. Dubois was traded to Los Angeles by Winnipeg for a package of Alex Iafallo, Rasmus Kupari, Gabriel Vilardi, and a second round in next year’s draft.
