Seems like a lifetime ago we were having that debate.

The main RFA's yet to sign from this (apologies for the Sportsnet link)

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article...mours-reports/

Luke Evangelista
Ryker Evans
Luke Hughes
Mason McTavish
Marco Rossi
Connor Zary

Others like Alexander Holtz, Wyatt Kaiser, and Mykael Pyytia sill not signed.

Have to think the bottom three will end up at QO.
I suspect most, if not all of these guys will sign something before October. I do remember a time before the cap when it wasn't uncommon to have players every season hold out well into the season. I wonder with the cap going up by large increments, if we don't start seeing more teams sticking to internal budgets below the cap ceiling sort of simulating the pre-cap era, leading to more teams playing hardball with players. Just a thought, but maybe not.
