The Top 10 Remaining Free Agents: Where Will They Go?
More than a week into this years national hockey league's free agency frenzy and we still have plenty of big names left, aside from Johnny Gaudreau, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Anthony DeAngelo and more all finding homes, we are left with a 10 player list of skaters who will crack any teams starting lineup.
1. Nazem Kadri (forward)
Where will he go: Rumours are swirling that the New York Islanders are going all in for Kadri, as time ticks down- the cup winners Colorado Avalanche have less and less time to make cap room to re-sign Kadri, who was apart of the cup winning roster.
2. P.K Subban (defenseman)
Where will he go: Not many talks have swirled the air about the former 2-time 60 point season right handed defenseman, Subban is currently coming off a whopping $9,000,000 million per season contract, and since signing he has cut his production in half in all categories; Subban must understand that he will not be receiving a large contract like his previous, and may receive a short-term deal to see if he still has the talent he's produced before, before being offered a large amount.
3. John Klingberg (defenseman)
Where will he go: Klingberg is a 30 year old defenseman who caught the NHL by shock when he had a breakout season in 2014-15, as a 23 year old Klingberg put up nearly 60 points, tallying up 48 assists and 10 goals on the year. Klingberg has shown no signs of not slowing down, he has had multiple 40 plus point seasons and even a 67 point year where he was in norris trophy talks for the best defenseman in the league, but it seems like his time in Dallas is done as it has been stated Dallas and Klingberg cannot come to terms on a deal. Negotiations have gone so terrible for Klingberg he has recently decided to fire his agents and represent himself until he hires another, the Montreal Canadiens are rumoured to be in on the defenseman- something to keep a eye on.
The other 7 will be key depth aquisations for any team, Bergeron and Kessel sticking out as the biggest pieces available on the market out of the list below:
4. Sam Steel (forward)
5. Sonny Milano (forward)
6. Phil Kessel (forward)
7. Anton Stralman (defenseman)
8. Patrice Bergeron (forward)
9. Evan Rodriguez
10. Paul Stastny
