Frank Seravalli of TSN: Looking at the top 10 pending unrestricted free agents.
1. Alex Pietrangelo – RD – He may be the only UFA whose next contract may not be affected by the flattening of the cap. Doesn’t sound like they are close to a deal, but it still seems like they will get a done at some point.
2. Taylor Hall – LW – Unless the Arizona Coyotes come in with a huge offer, he’ll likely be hitting free agency. Would he be willing to sign a one-year deal at a lower rate and chase a Stanley Cup and hope to cash in after next season?
