The draft
is only a couple of days away, but after that we have free agent signings. The
group of restricted free agents (RFA) are amazing, but unrestricted free agency
might be just as good. We have sorted a list for you with the top 50
unrestricted free agents (UFA) sorted by cap hit in 2018/19.
Jason Spezza is at the top of the list with a cap hit of $ 7.5 Million in 2018/19, but further down the list you have Sergei Bobrovsky ($ 7.425 Million), Artemi Panarin ($ 6 Million), Matt Duchene ($ 6 Million), Erik Karlsson ($ 6.5 Million), and Tyler Myers ($ 5.5 Million). No doubt we will have a very busy signing period with lot of great players changing teams.
On July 1 the free agenzy frency will begin for the unrestricted free agents, but remember the UFAs can be interviewed by any teams from June 23. In other words, we are only a week away.
