from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,
Here’s a rundown and ranking of hockey’s best impending unrestricted free agents, plus the latest buzz circulating about their future as most of the league has already shifted to off-season mode.
Andrew Copp
Age on July 13: 27
Position: Centre / Wing
2021-22 salary cap hit: $3.64 millionThe latest: Controlling his fate in Winnipeg and opting not to sign long-term, the steadily improving Copp was a sensible trade target for the New York Rangers.
Their hand forced, the Jets moved Copp plus a sixth-rounder to the Big Apple in return for Morgan Barron, two conditional second-round picks and a fifth-round pick in 2023.
