Potential UFAs to be had (in no particular order):
Aleksander Barkov, Morgan Rielly, Seth Jones, John Klingberg, Claude Giroux, Evgeni Malkin, Colton Parayko, Patrice Bergeron, Filip Forsberg, Tomas Hertl, Mika Zibanejad, Sean Couturier and etc.
Truly an incredible class it’s shaping up to be and with Gio’s contract up that year as well, that’ll be $13.5M freed up for maybe the best UFA class the NHL has ever seen.

How many of those guys do you think will make it to UFA? I say maybe 4 out of the 12. The oldest, like 37 year old Bergeron, 36 year old Malkin, 33 year old Giroux (who I wouldn’t even take now).
