Season preview

Only Macklin Celebrini Scored Faster Than Adam Gaudette Last Season

Adam Gaudette scored 17 goals in 66 games last season on 11:28 a night, a rate of 1.35 goals per sixty minutes that only Macklin Celebrini beat among the forwards San Jose returns. He is also the thirteenth forward in most published projections of the 2026-27 lineup, he must clear waivers to be sent anywhere, and he is in the final year of a two-year deal at $2,000,000. The season's question is not whether he can finish. It is whether a deeper team gives him anything to finish.
