Reply With QuoteTuukka probably won't sign until he's near ready to play. If he returns at all of course.
Mikko Lehtonen is another one I would've thought would get a cheap deal by now.
UFAs still out there
I figure it's time to make a thread listing notable UFAs who've yet to sign. According to my cursory review, here are ones who could have fantasy value next season. Apologies if I missed anyone of if one or more of these guys have in fact signed an NHL deal.
David Krejci
Tuukka Rask
Davan Dubnyk
Derek Stepan
Marcus Johansson
Mathieu Perreault
Eric Staal
Ryan Donato
Alex Galchenyuk
Joe Thornton
Tomas Tatar
Nikita Gusev
James Neal
Jake Virtanen
Patrick Marleau
Kyle Palmieri
Bobby Ryan
Ondrej Kase
Tobias Rieder
Sami Vatanen
Erik Gustafsson
Not a lot of game changers, but a few who I'm surprised are still unemployed by now.

Re: UFAs still out there
It's time for at least a couple of them to retire already.

Re: UFAs still out there
I'm taking a guess David Krejci shows up in Vegas (void if Eichel is finally traded to Vegas)

Re: UFAs still out there
you can probably scratch palmieri off that list (isles)
I'd imagine Tatar has a few offers he's considering
Re: UFAs still out there
It's a tough year for some of these guys left, because several bottom-dwellers (ARI, DET, BUF) are only going to take on somebody if the contract is low-enough that the player has great trade-value, in this cap-tight year. I expect we'll see a lot of these guys end up signing 1yr contracts at $1m below what they may be worth.
