1.) Taylor Raddysh
While his name might make Golden Knights fans think of vegetables, Taylor Raddysh actually provides more than nutrients for any team. He also delivers a healthy dose of lower-line hockey when called upon.
Raddysh is a similar redemption project that Kelly McCrimmon could tackle. Like Olofsson, the right winger is a former 20-goal scorer, achieving this mark with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2022-23. He scored seven power play goals that season, serving as an integral part of the Blackhawks attack.
He also carries plenty of size to the table, standing at 6'3" and weighing 200 pounds. The winger is also a consistent hitter, registering 328 hits during his four-year career. Such physicality would serve him well, specifically when paired with Keegan Kolesar.
A price tag of $2 million AAV sounds fairly reasonable, should things go awry. But there's a possibility he gets something similar to Olofsson's deal last season. Therefore, it shouldn't hurt to sign him if there's extra money left over.
