The NHL offseason is here, and there is plenty to watch for as free agency opens on Monday, July 1.
Among all those storylines are the plethora of pending restricted free agents who will not receive offers from their current team. The deadline for teams to issue qualifying offers is Sunday, June 30 at 5 p.m. ET.
One of the most notable and intriguing players on this list is Alex Nylander. The first-round pick (No. 8) of the Buffalo Sabres in 2016 has played 121 NHL games with the Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets. He has 49 points (24 goals, 25 assists) and a minus-11 rating in his six-season career, and had 11 goals and 15 points in 23 games after he was acquired by the Blue Jackets last season.
Another notable is forward Taylor Raddysh. The 26-year-old has 225 career NHL games under his belt and spent the past three seasons with the Blackhawks. In his NHL career, Raddysh has recorded 73 points (36 goals, 37 assists). He tallied 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 73 games last season. Raddysh has yet to play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, as his career has been spent almost entirely with Chicago, who hasn’t made the postseason since 2020.
