The Athletic has a list of the best NCAA and European free agents: https://theathletic.com/4213022/2023/02/21/college-chl-european-hockey-free-agents/
I know most of the college names (few of Euro ones). My list adds a few named I believed should be added.
There are probably a couple of tiers. I think the most sought after would be something like (* would be August window, everyone else once their seasons are over)
McDonough*
Livingstone
Johnson*
LaCombe* (but he probably signs with ANA)
Perets (he didn't list)
Chrona*
Nelson
McAllister
Skoog
