11. Ryan Strome
Ryan Strome has not come to an agreement with the Rangers on a new contract and now he is heading to free agency, much like his brother Dylan with the Blackhawks. I think it would be fun to see the two brothers try to negotiate their way to the same team.
12. Jack Campbell
Jack Campbell is one of the star goaltenders available right now and being one of a few good goalies is definitely going to increase his salary next year as teams will be desperate.
13. Nikita Zadorov
Nikita Zadorov had a really good postseason run with the Calgary Flames. He was physical showed he can excel in a playoff battle. Now we have to wait and see which team will bite at having him on their team.
14. Dylan Strome
The younger brother of Ryan is also on this list. It is amazing that the Blackhawks did not offer Dylan Strome a qualifying offer but hey when you try and tank I guess you cannot have any player on your roster. Dylan is not going to net a big payday this summer, but he does have the opportunity to make a team better if he bounces back next year.
15. Dominik Kubalik
Dominik Kubalik was another Hawk that the team let go which was surprising. Kubalik is heading to free agency and could be a great depth scorer on a contending team. It was just a few seasons ago that Kubalik put up 30 goals.
16. Ben Chiarot
Ben Chiarot is another defenseman that is going to be making some money this summer. The former Atlanta Thrashers draft pick spent time this past season with the Florida Panthers, and now it looks as though he could sign anywhere he chooses. Chiarot is a big physical defenseman who still is a top-four player on a good team.
17. Patrice Bergeron
Patrice Bergeron is only just now getting mentioned because the general consensus is he either re-signs in Boston or retires. Bergeron is the Boston Bruins so it will be interesting to see what he decides to do here.
18. Andrew Copp
After a great season in 2022, Andrew Copp is going to get paid this summer. I think a lot of Rangers fans hoped Copp stayed in New York after their playoff run this past season but it looks as if Copp is heading to free agency.
19. Andre Burakovsky
Another member of the Colorado Avalanche does not know his future. Andre Burakovksy is looking for a contract and it does not appear as if he will be in Colorado next year. The defending champ has a lot to offer to a team trying to win right now and who knows maybe a reunion in Washington makes sense for the forward.
20. Darcy Kuemper
The Colorado Avalanche won with goalie Darcy Kuemper, but the consensus is they could have won with anyone in the net. Now Kuemper is a free agent trying to cash in on his Stanley Cup with a team desperate for a goaltender. The Leafs would have made sense up until they went and traded for Matt Murray so we will have to wait and see where Kuemper goes.
What do you think of the 20 players that fans will have to keep an eye on tomorrow? Who do you think gets dealt first?
