With the amount of signings and players changing teams that we've seen already, it seems nearly impossible to believe, but there is still a significant portion of PWHL free agency still to come.
The "wow factor' of PWHL roster changes in expansion was obvious from Daryl Watts or Brianne Jenner, Emily Clark or Hilary Knight.
And while many key players changed teams, it's only the beginning as a significant potion of free agency is still to come.
It's believed players, including Emma Maltais and Jessie Eldridge, will be on the move when free agency opens, and others including Abby Roque, Denisa Krizova, Aneta Tejralova, and Katerina Mrazova could be on the move if the right offer comes in. Others like Kendall Coyne Schofield and Blayre Turnbull are expected to stay with their current teams. Netminders Elaine Chuli and Sandra Abstreiter will have extra value in the market as well. Even though neither has been a PWHL starter their value will be sky high because of the lack of available goalies with experience or having proven themselves as starters.
Aside from the 2026 PWHL Draft, this is the top group teams will be looking to refill their rosters from.
