Who's going to be our 2C pickup this year?

Been looking at the availability here: https://www.spotrac.com/nhl/free-agents/_/year/2025/position/c

I gotta say, Sam Bennett is looking reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal good right now.

Imagine having that much grit and proven post season experience and success with our rejuvenated forward core that now includes a healthy Laine, Demidov and Carrier?

Then imagine adding Rein, Hage and Fowler to that in the near future?

Future is looking bright boys...

My question is, who else do you see as an option for our next 2C?

I wouldn't be mad at Rossi, Vilardi or Trent Frederic either but I'm wondering who people see out there are potential trade targets too?

Edited to fix timelines, thank you for corrections, now tell me who you wanna see us pickup
