NHL Free Agency is set to open this Wednesday, July 28 at 12 PM ET. The Washington Capitals have the biggest potential free agent in Alexander Ovechkin still without a contract.

There was some recent noise made by Ovechkin himself, when he lightheartedly said there was a chance he could sign in the KHL this season.
