I can't think of any.
They need to be signed at the deadline or they need to be traded. Can't afford to end up like the Bluejackets.

It's extremely rare for star players. Once a star makes it to UFA they're going to get bombarded with offers and their pick of region to play in. Stamkos was a little different as Tampa as a location and team was a huge draw to any UFA.
