NHL insider just confirmed rumour speculating on former Stanley Cup Champion

Chandler Stephenson could most definitely be a cap casualty for the Golden Knights, as he's due for a hefty raise.

David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period has revealed six teams could face off in a bidding war to acquire the forward.

The six teams being, Toronto Maple Leafs, Nashville Predators, Vancouver Canucks, Carolina Hurricanes, Boston Bruins, and Washington Capitals.

Stephenson had shown his skills as a two-way forward, with his solid offensive and defensive skills, a trait many organizations could benefit from.

However, Stephenson is a crucial member of the Golden Knights so it won't be surprising if they try their best to re-sign him, if they can afford to.

The 30-year-old forward appeared in 75 games with the Golden Knights this season, scoring 51 points( 16 G, 35 A), and has had two back-to-back 60-point seasons in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023.
