Well look at the upcoming batch of free agents and see how many players aren’t re-signed yet.
Malkin
Giroux
Letang
Fleury
Bergeron
Radulov
Forsberg
Barkov
Hertl
Parayko
Zibanejad
Rielly
Klingberg
It’s not unusual that these guys don’t have contracts yet. Sure, some will go UFA but this list will be drastically reduced by next summer.
