1. Gustav Nyquist – LW
Acquiring any player in this tier would be reliant on the Edmonton Oilers dumping a big contract via trade or buyout. So until either of those scenarios happen, we have to assume that these players are likely out of reach.
If Holland can work some magic and open up some more cap space, you have to think one of the top players he’ll be targetting is Gustav Nyquist. He’s familiar with Nyquist and his agent through his time with Detroit and has already been linked to attempting to acquire almost any top-six winger available.
