Default 2022 Unqualified RFAs

I was going through the list of unqualified RFAs in the NHL, and there were quite a few productive players.

4. Sonny Milano - Anaheim 66GP 14G 20A 34P
5. Rem Pitlick - Montreal 66GP 15G 22A 37P
6. Ilya Samsonov - Washington 23-12-5 0.896SV%
7. Ondrej Kase - Toronto 50GP 14G 13A 27P
8. Jonathan Dahlen San Jose 61GP 12G 10A 22P
9. Sam Steel - Anaheim 68GP 6G 14A 20P
10. Juho Lammikko - Vancouver 75GP 7G 8A 15P
11. Evgeny Svechnikov - Winnipeg 72GP 7G 12A 19P
12. Brett Howden - Vegas 47GP 9G 11A 20P
13. N Aube-Kubel - Colorado 74GP 11G 12A 23P
14. Brendan Lemieux - LA 50GP 8G 5A 13P

Some of these players might yet sign with their teams prior to or after July 13th 2022. The teams might be worried about the arbitrations awards.

I would take a crack at Kubalik.

If I was a team in need of a goalie I would also look at Samsonov.
the rest...meh.

Need to take a long look at Howden.

Local kid, solid talent who can produce from a third line role.

Don't know the price tag but would be very interested.

How is Kase still an RFA, it seems like he's been around forever.

He has been unqualified as an RFA in back to back years now.

Bruins didn’t qualify him last year, and now neither have the Leafs

Out of Vancouver, Lammikko is more interesting to me than Highmore.

Holy ####. I can't believe they didn't qualify Sam steel. I know he's fallen down their depth chart for center, but the guy is a gamer. I watched him for 3 years in Regina. Worth a flyer. Very responsible, hard working center

I wonder if Sutter could make a player out of Svechnikov. He has a lot of good tools but just can't seem to put it together consistently. He only had 7 goals and 19 point (three disallowed goals). He seems like a good character as well. I know some Jets fans a little irritated that he wasn't qualified.

Flames have long been rumoured to have interest in Kase, could see him ending up here for sure.

Steel is an interesting name too, same with Kubalik, Milano.

Actually a few names I wouldn’t hate if the Flames signed there.

You’d think once you went unqualified once you’d be a UFA from then on. Stupid rules.

Evgeni Svechnikov? Yeah, take a flyer for sure
Kase is a curious case if injury and reliability. Killer player, made of glass
Kubalik, can a Sutter type coach bring the rest of his game up to par with his offensive talents? I'd take a Flyer.


Some interesting names for sure. There's an opportunity maybe to completely revamp the bottom 6 fws.

He also was unqualified. I didn’t include all the names, but have now added him and others to the list as well.

If Vegas does indeed let him get to free agency, I would be surprised if the Flames weren't all over it. Big, hard working, defensive C, who contributes a little offense- Sutter would love him.

I'd also look at H Borgstrom, who wasn't qualified by Chicago. Was selected by Florida and has a lot of good tools, was projected to be a really vood #2 C, worth a look for sure.

Yeah, Borgstrom is still a project defensively, but he has some tools. 6'3" and 200 pounds, with puck skills as a center. I think he'd also be a good pickup for the farm team.

Maybe Treliving will take a flyer on the other Pitlick. His stats are pretty good considering what a disaster Montreal was last season.

i read in the Athletic that over the weekend N Aube-Kubel had his day with the cup.

I guess it was nice for him to have that day before he was not qualified - of course that assumes that he and his agent had no idea this was going to happen.
