Following a wild opening day of free agency on Monday that saw more than $1 billion spent on contracts, the list of available players has dwindled significantly.Let's take a closer look at some of the best players remaining in free agency. Veteran winger Vladimir Tarasenko is looking for a new contract after winning the second Stanley Cup of his career last month as a member of the Florida Panthers.
The 39-year-old blueliner had two goals and 15 assists over 82 games this past season, adding four points in 19 games during the postseason. The 27-year-old winger recorded more than 40 points for the second straight season in 2023-24, netting 18 goals and 25 assists. After playing over three seasons in Columbus, the 27-year-old forward was traded to the Rangers ahead of the deadline, adding two goals and six assists over 16 playoff games during New York's run to the Eastern Conference Final.
