I would say in a typical year maybe 1 of the top 5 pending UFA’s actually get to free agency.

Sorry, I meant to include players playing for a Canadian team with limited success. Both those players play in great locations, each has their own reason (Tax, NYC!), not to mention both of those players wear a letter for the team they re-signed with.
In my opinion, players that are without a letter, on teams with little to no progress when it comes to postseason success tend to explore free agency more often than the ones in situations like above.
