With the NHL Entry Draft in the rear-view mirror, general managers are focused on getting their teams in competitive shape for next season.
There’s a chance to add some talent, starting today, when free agency officially begins at noon (Eastern Time).
Unrestricted free agents are free to sign with any team, and clubs can submit offer sheets to restricted free agents, too.
This year’s crop is thin on elite young stars, but there are still plenty of options to build or round out rosters with experience and depth.
