Even with Kris Letang and Marc-Andre Fleury off the board, this summer's crop of potential NHL unrestricted free agents is one of the deepest in years.

The Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche provide a handful of impact players to this list and have already all but said goodbye to one of them.

Numerous stars and many more solid contributors could sign with new clubs, though some big names may elect to stick with their current squads. Patrice Bergeron has reportedly elected to do just that, and others could do the same, especially given the fact that the salary cap is only going up by $1 million for next season. However, the stars listed here are still candidates to join the frenzy unless things change in the days ahead.

Here are the league's top pending UFAs who could test the market beginning Tuesday:

Goals saved above expected figures are at five-on-five

1. Johnny Gaudreau

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
82	40	75	29 on Aug. 13	$6.75M

There's no question "Johnny Hockey" will be the biggest name out there if he and the Calgary Flames can't agree on a new deal, but that's the biggest "if" of this offseason. Either way, Gaudreau is in line for a hefty raise after he tied for second in the NHL in points and finished fourth in Hart Trophy voting, helping the Flames win the Pacific Division title and a playoff series this spring.

The New Jersey-born winger has said he loves being in Calgary, and Flames assistant general manager Craig Conroy called an extension a "done deal" in February. There'll clearly be an abundance of teams lining up to lure Gaudreau away from Alberta if those talks don't result in an agreement.

2. Nazem Kadri

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
71	28	59	31	$4.5M

No one made a bigger jump on this list over the course of this past campaign than Kadri. The Avalanche center set career highs in assists and points while eclipsing his personal-best average ice time by over 90 seconds at 19:14. He further boosted his value in the playoffs with clutch performances and gutted it out en route to the championship after having thumb surgery during Round 3.

Peaking after 30 is rare, and with Kadri turning 32 in early October, giving him term and a large raise would definitely carry some risk. He's likely to regress - especially if he departs Colorado - but Kadri has undoubtedly earned a pay bump and will be highly coveted if he tests the market.

3. Claude Giroux (signed)

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
75	21	44	34	$8.28M ($4.14M after trade)

Giroux and the Ottawa Senators reportedly agreed to a three-year contract carrying an average annual value of $6.5 million Wednesday.

Teams are reportedly already lining up for Giroux; the Edmonton Oilers are apparently eyeing him as a backup plan if Evander Kane departs. Giroux had a very good 2021-22 season despite his age and the fact he played for the lackluster Philadelphia Flyers for most of it before they traded him to the Florida Panthers.

4. Evgeni Malkin (signed)

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
41	20	22	36 on July 31	$9.5M

Malkin and the Penguins agreed to a four-year deal with an AAV of $6.1 million on Tuesday.

Malkin's negotiations with the Pittsburgh Penguins haven't gone as swimmingly as the Letang talks, and the Russian forward is now reportedly expected to test free agency for the first time after 16 seasons with the club. Malkin showed this past season he can still perform at a high level when healthy, but his age and injury history have made his next contract far less cut-and-dried than the previous ones.

5. Evander Kane (signed)

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
43	22	17	31 on Aug. 2	$2.1M

Kane and the Oilers agreed on a 4-year extension carrying an AAV of $5.125 million Wednesday.

Kane fit in seamlessly with the Oilers after signing a one-year contract in late January, and he's clearly looking for more money and term now. However, his numerous transgressions should give other teams pause if Edmonton doesn't bring him back. It's also unclear how Kane would play without Connor McDavid now that the former San Jose Sharks winger is nearing the wrong side of 30.

6. Valeri Nichushkin (signed)

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
62	25	27	27	$2.5M

Nichushkin and the Avalanche agreed on an 8-year extension carrying an AAV of $6.125 million Monday.

Much like Kadri, Nichushkin significantly improved his stock while playing for the Avalanche in a contract year. The 10th overall pick in 2013 finally provided consistent offense in his sixth full NHL campaign before going off with 15 points in 20 playoff games. While Nichushkin - like Kadri - owes some of his success to his situation in Colorado, his strong two-way game and impressive underlying numbers suggest he'd succeed elsewhere.

7. Darcy Kuemper

Record	SV%	GSAx	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
37-12-4	.921	4.95	32	$4.5M

For the second straight year, the Avalanche are letting their No. 1 goaltender walk out the door. Kuemper will follow in Philipp Grubauer's footsteps and hit the market after the champs traded for Alexandar Georgiev at the draft. Kuemper had a difficult postseason despite winning the Cup, but he performed commendably during the regular season and is undoubtedly the best netminder available.

8. John Klingberg

Francois Lacasse / National Hockey League / Getty

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
74	6	41	30 on Aug. 14	$4.25M

Things have been fairly quiet on the Klingberg front since the Dallas Stars tried to trade him in the winter. The experienced blue-liner was a defensive liability last season, but he can still contribute offensively while authoring favorable possession numbers.

9. David Perron

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
67	27	30	34	$4M

Perron has long been one of the most underrated players in the NHL. The Quebec-born winger will be entering his 16th season, but he allayed wear-and-tear concerns with a strong 2021-22 campaign. Though Perron posted a sub-50 expected goals for percentage this past season, it'd be unwise to bet against him while he's consistently producing.

10. Andre Burakovsky

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
80	22	39	27	$4.9M

Burakovsky, another key piece of Colorado's championship run who's up for a new contract, is among the best secondary scorers available. The Austrian-born Swede had a career year this past season and, much like Nichushkin, is only now entering his prime. The question is whether he can duplicate his 2021-22 success.

11. Vincent Trocheck (signed)

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
81	21	30	28 on July 11	$4.75M

Trocheck and the New York Rangers reportedly agreed to a seven-year contract with a $5.625M AAV on Wednesday.

Trocheck has been a rock-solid second-line center for the Carolina Hurricanes since they acquired him from the Panthers in 2020. The Hurricanes have lots of other players to sign, so there's no guarantee Trocheck sticks around. He'd be an underrated addition for a club that needs help down the middle.

12. Mason Marchment

Bill Wippert / National Hockey League / Getty

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
54	18	29	27	$800K

Marchment was one of the NHL's biggest surprises in 2021-22. The former Toronto Maple Leafs prospect repeatedly made his old organization regret trading him for Denis Malgin in 2019 by notching nearly a point per game for the Panthers.

13. Andrew Copp (signed)

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
72	21	32	28	$3.64M

Copp and the Detroit Red Wings reportedly agreed to a five-year contract carrying a $5.625-million AAV on Wednesday.

Like several others on this list, Copp is hoping to parlay a career year into a sizeable raise. The skilled defensive forward discovered his offensive game this past season. Copp, who can play all three positions up front, stated his case with strong play for both the New York Rangers and the Winnipeg Jets in 2021-22.

14. Ondrej Palat

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
77	18	31	31	$5.3M

Palat has been one of the Tampa Bay Lightning's unsung heroes for years, and he certainly picked a good time to have the best postseason of his career. The veteran forward known for his reliable two-way play erupted for 11 goals and 10 assists over 23 playoff games. The Bolts want to bring him back, but Palat reportedly appears set to explore the market.

15. Ryan Strome

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
74	21	33	29 on July 11	$4.5M

Strome has been decent as the Rangers' second-line center, but playing with Artemi Panarin padded his numbers and masked some of his deficiencies. Strome somehow failed to drive possession despite his enviable situation this past season. That said, while he's not elite, Strome would still be one of the better players available at his position.

16. Jack Campbell (signed)

Mark LoMoglio / National Hockey League / Getty

Record	SV%	GSAx	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
31-9-6	.914	-10.78	30	$1.65M

Campbell and the Oilers agreed to a five-year contract carrying a $5-million AAV on Wednesday.

Campbell was the biggest reason Toronto's goaltending was so concerning for the club this past season. The Leafs' pre-playoff success inflated his 2021-22 counting stats, and the underlying numbers proved he was among the NHL's worst netminders. But because the goalie market is extremely thin, he'll be one of the most coveted puck-stoppers.

17. Dylan Strome

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
69	22	26	25	$3M

This Strome brother was initially a pending restricted free agent, but the Chicago Blackhawks chose not to issue him a qualifying offer before Monday's deadline, so he'll now be testing the UFA waters.

Strome had a streaky season and benefited from playing alongside Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat in the latter half of the campaign. But Strome notched as many even-strength goals as Kane (17) while playing nine fewer games and logging 4:23 less in average ice time.

18. Ilya Mikheyev

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
53	21	11	27 (28 on Oct. 10)	$1.64M

Mikheyev may have priced himself out of Toronto due to the Leafs' cap constraints. The Russian winger enjoyed a mini-breakout in scoring during an injury-shortened 2021-22 season. However, his 14.3 shooting percentage more than doubled from the previous campaign, so some regression's likely in order, particularly if he joins a team with a less potent offense.

19. Josh Manson (signed)

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
67	6	10	30	$4.1M

Manson and the Avalanche agreed to a four-year contract extension carrying an AAV of $4.5 million Wednesday.

Manson doesn't light up the scoresheet, but the Avalanche rearguard is a dependable top-four defenseman whose gritty style makes him an effective penalty killer. Manson's subpar 2021-22 xGF% with the Anaheim Ducks got worse after they traded him to Colorado, but it rose to an excellent 56.24 in the playoffs as he helped his new squad win the Cup.

20. Nino Niederreiter

Icon Sportswire / Icon Sportswire / Getty

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
75	24	20	29 (30 on Sept. 8)	$5.25M

Teams needing a dependable forward who won't break the bank will likely look at Niederreiter if he becomes available. The Swiss winger scored at least 20 goals in six of his 11 NHL seasons and has great underlying numbers.

21. Ben Chiarot

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
74	9	17	31	$3.5M

The analytics community doesn't love Chiarot, but the metric-driven Panthers wanted him enough to give the Montreal Canadiens a first-round pick and other assets at last season's trade deadline. Chiarot could be sought after due to his special-teams prowess and size at 6-foot-3 and 226 pounds. The defenseman isn't known for piling up points, but he collected eight over 20 games with the Presidents' Trophy winners.

22. Paul Stastny

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
71	21	24	36	$3.75M

Stastny's second go-around with the Jets worked out pretty well for both parties, and perhaps his one-year deal had something to do with that. Even at his age, the grizzled vet can still center a team's second or third line next season.

23. Rickard Rakell (signed)

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
70	20	21	29	$3.79M

Rakell and the Penguins agreed on a 6-year extension carrying an AAV of $5 million Monday.

Rakell is still a bit streaky, injury-prone, and not the 30-goal-scorer he was in his prime. But the veteran winger drove possession in 2021-22 while playing most of the season with the retooling Ducks before they dealt him to the Penguins. He can still make plays, but teams will surely be wary of signing him long term.

24. Nick Leddy

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
75	3	21	31	$5.5M

Leddy is heading into his 13th NHL season and won the Cup in 2013. The reliable defenseman got traded last July and then again in March. Leddy is also entering the point of his career when players usually decline, but he's worth a look as a third-pairing option if he reaches free agency.

25. Phil Kessel

Norm Hall / National Hockey League / Getty

GP	G	A	Age	2021-22 Cap Hit
82	8	44	34	$8M

Kessel will be entering his 17th season, and he's certainly not an $8-million player anymore. However, he managed more than half an assist per game for an awful Arizona Coyotes squad last season and suited up for all 82 contests. Kessel also had more individual expected goals than Malkin, Mikheyev, and Marchment while posting a career-low 4.6% shooting rate. The latter's bound to get closer to his career mark of 10.8% in 2022-23, especially if he lands with a better team.

The Detroit Red Wings traded defensemen Nick Leddy and Luke Witkowski to the St. Louis Blues for forward Oskar Sundqvist, blue-liner Jake Walman, and a 2023 second-round pick, the team announced Monday.

Leddy recorded 16 points in 55 games with the Red Wings this season while averaging 21:33 of ice time per contest. He excels at skating and moving the puck, but his underlying numbers over the last three years aren't particularly promising:

The 30-year-old has skated in 831 games across 12 NHL seasons with the Chicago Blackhawks, New York Islanders, and Detroit, tallying 352 points. He'll bring championship pedigree to the Blues, having won a Stanley Cup with Chicago back in 2013.

Leddy is in the final year of his contract with a cap hit of $5.5 million.

He fills a need on the left side of St. Louis' blue line and could even play alongside Colton Parayko on the top pair. Here's how the Blues' defense corps projects following the deal:

LD	RD
Nick Leddy	Colton Parayko
Torey Krug	Justin Faulk
Marco Scandella	Robert Bortuzzo

Sundqvist, 27, has four goals and 11 assists in 41 games in a bottom-six role this season. He averaged 16 goals per 82 games in 2018-19 and 2019-20 but seems to have lost his scoring touch since then. The 6-foot-3, 209-pounder provides size and versatility, as he can play center and wing. He's signed through 2022-23 at a $2.75-million cap hit.

Walman, 26, has tallied four goals and four assists in 57 career NHL games across three seasons - all with the Blues. He carries a $725,000 cap hit and will be a restricted free agent at season's end.

The lead-up to this year's NHL trade deadline is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in years, with no shortage of star power potentially on the block ahead of March 21.

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller was originally expected to be one of the best players available, but it now appears the team is reluctant to trade him.

We took both talent and likelihood of being traded into account when determining the list. With that in mind, here are our top players who could be sent packing before the deadline:

1. Jakob Chychrun

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Defenseman	23	Signed through 2024-25	$4.6M

Chychrun has been one of the biggest names in the rumor mill for weeks now. That may change with Monday's revelation that the Arizona Coyotes blue-liner will miss two-to-four weeks due to injury. However, he's signed for another three seasons after this one, so his current absence may not significantly affect his trade value.

The left-shot blue-liner, who'll turn 24 on March 31, is having a down season production-wise, but don't be fooled by his point total for the moribund Coyotes. The potential best rearguard available would still be a major acquisition for the stretch run and beyond considering he hasn't even entered his prime yet.

2. Alexandar Georgiev

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Goaltender	26	Pending RFA	$2.425M

This isn't Georgiev's first rodeo on the trade block for the New York Rangers. The career backup isn't going to get regular starts given the way Hart Trophy candidate Igor Shesterkin's been playing. The club would be better served with a more weathered No. 2 netminder, and Georgiev deserves a chance to carve out more crease time with another squad.

3. Jake DeBrusk

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Forward	25	Pending RFA	$3.675M

DeBrusk wasn't initially the most talented forward on the market, but the Boston Bruins winger remains one of the most likely to be dealt considering he's been on the block for months.

His agent said in November he asked for a trade. Then in early March, it was reported they informed teams of their willingness to work on an extension to facilitate a swap. The Edmonton-born forward has been playing on the Bruins' top line and Boston could be showcasing him. Regardless, he's produced at an impressive clip.

4. Andrew Copp

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Forward	27	Pending UFA	$3.64M

Copp is one of the more intriguing players available. The American can play on the wing or down the middle. Copp has clicked with a variety of linemates for the Winnipeg Jets and is on pace for a career season points-wise.

5. Justin Braun

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Defenseman	35	Pending UFA	$1.8M

The Philadelphia Flyers are clearly looking to deal Braun after sending Claude Giroux to the Florida Panthers. Considering Braun's extremely team-friendly cap hit, expiring contract, and sound defensive game, it's no wonder the club is holding him out of Sunday's game as a precaution.

6. Artturi Lehkonen

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Forward	26	Pending RFA	$2.3M

Lehkonen is one of many Montreal Canadiens players generating interest. He's not a pending UFA, but he will be 27 this summer, so the solid two-way forward may not factor into the club's long-term plans. Lehkonen's underlying numbers are more than favorable this season, which is impressive considering how poor his team played until its February head coaching change.

7. Rickard Rakell

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Forward	28	Pending UFA	$3.789M

The Anaheim Ducks have already shipped out Josh Manson and Hampus Lindholm, and Rakell remains a significant potential target for contenders. He's a streaky player whose production has declined since he topped 30 goals in 2016-17 and 2017-18, but the Swede can score for stretches.

8. Max Domi

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Forward	27	Pending UFA	$5.3M

The Columbus Blue Jackets are well back of fourth place in their division, so it's looking more likely they'll be sellers. Patrik Laine has been on fire for a prolonged stretch, is a pending RFA, and is soon to be just 24 years old. As a result, Domi is a far more likely candidate to be moved. Teams in need of a center with some experience who can also play the wing may view him as an option.

9. John Klingberg

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Defenseman	29	Pending UFA	$4.25M

There's been radio silence regarding a contract extension for Klingberg, but the Dallas Stars now seem slightly more likely to keep him with blue-liner Miro Heiskanen out indefinitely with mononucleosis. Either way, Klingberg is a pending UFA; the Stars need to extend him, trade him, or risk watching him leave in free agency.

10. Braden Holtby

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Goaltender	32	Pending UFA	$2M

Holtby has proven himself while splitting time with Jake Oettinger in his 10th full season. That may be partly due to the Stars' defensive system, but Holtby would be a solid addition for those seeking goaltending help if his current squad fades from playoff contention.

11. Phil Kessel

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Forward	34	Pending UFA	$8M

Kessel's cap hit isn't ideal for an acquiring team, but the Coyotes have plenty of space to retain a portion of his contract. The veteran has a modified no-trade clause (he can submit a list of eight teams to which he'd approve a deal), so that complicates things further, but Kessel still has some gas left in the tank and could provide a contender with scoring depth.

12. Nick Leddy

Position	Age	Contract Status	Cap Hit
Defenseman	30 (31 on March 20)	Pending UFA	$5.5M

Speaking of experience, Leddy has that in spades. The left-shot blue-liner has suited up for over 800 games, won the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2013, and has played in four conference finals. The Detroit Red Wings surely want to get younger or stockpile assets, and Leddy could help them do that.

The New York Islanders have dealt defenseman Nick Leddy to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward Richard Panik and the 52nd overall pick in the upcoming NHL draft.

Detroit is retaining 50% of Panik's $2.75-million cap hit. He's under contract through 2022-23.

Leddy, who carries a cap hit of $5.5 million, is on the books through next season and will then be eligible for unrestricted free agency. He played the last seven campaigns with the Islanders after spending his first four with the Chicago Blackhawks.

Nick Leddy, acquired by DET, has not been a strong playdriver at all in recent years despite strong offensive zone playmaking, pretty skating, and prolific zone entry numbers. #LGRW pic.twitter.com/DfunzelpwF
— JFresh (@JFreshHockey) July 17, 2021

Leddy collected two goals and 29 assists while averaging 21:35 of ice time and playing all 56 games for the Islanders this past season.

The 30-year-old won the Stanley Cup with the Blackhawks in 2013 before Chicago traded him to New York in October 2014.

Panik, who's also 30, has suited up for six other teams during his nine-year career.

The Red Wings could afford to part with the second-round pick - which originally belonged to the Edmonton Oilers - because they hold two additional second-rounders in the upcoming draft. In fact, Detroit owns two picks in each of the first five rounds this year. The Islanders now have two second-rounders of their own in 2021.

The New York Islanders have placed defenseman Nick Leddy on the trade block, sources told The Athletic's Arthur Staple.

The Isles are reportedly looking to move the veteran so they don't risk losing him in the expansion draft for nothing.

Leddy recorded two goals and 29 assists in 56 games this past season while averaging 21:35 per contest. He added six points in 19 playoff games during New York's run to the final four. His underlying numbers have been poor, though.

Nick Leddy, reportedly on the trade block, has not been a strong playdriver at all in recent years despite strong offensive zone playmaking and prolific zone entries. #Isles pic.twitter.com/XjWJmSLqso
— JFresh (@JFreshHockey) July 13, 2021

The 30-year-old has one year left on his contract with a cap hit of $5.5 million.

The Islanders are projected to use the 7-3-1 protection list format in the expansion draft, with the three defense spots going to Ryan Pulock, Adam Pelech, and Scott Mayfield.

New York is estimated to have nearly $12 million in cap space once Johnny Boychuk is placed on long-term injured reserve. However, the club has multiple key restricted free agents to re-sign, including Ilya Sorokin, Anthony Beauvillier, Michael Dal Colle, and Pelech.

Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid has been suspended two games for an illegal check to the head of New York Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy, the Department of Player Safety announced Friday.

— NHL Nosebleed (@NHL_Nosebleed) February 22, 2019

McDavid committed the hit in the first period of Thursday's overtime victory and was assessed a two-minute penalty.

The 22-year-old had never previously been suspended in his NHL career. McDavid will miss matchups with the Anaheim Ducks and Nashville Predators before becoming eligible to return for a marquee showdown versus his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs on Feb. 27.

Oilers CEO Bob Nicholson released the following statement in the aftermath of the suspension announcement:

(2/2) "We strongly disagree with the decision & it is difficult to accept for our team & most important our fans at this critical point in our season. We will unequivocally support Connor as he explores his options."
— Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) February 22, 2019

McDavid recorded two points in the contest - including the overtime winner - to bring his total to 85 in 58 games this season. Along with being forced to sit, the center will forfeit just over $134,000 in salary, according to TSN's Frank Seravalli.
