Ranking 2023 UFAs that actually make it to market

Created by: NHLfan10506
Team: 2022-23 Custom Team
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 22, 2022
Published: Aug. 22, 2022
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Pretty self-explanatory. Everyone wants to sign a MacKinnon, Pastrnak or a Geertsen, but players of that caliber rarely make it to open market. There are others, like Bergeron, who will likely self-limit their market to one, maybe two, teams.

I am ranking next year's UFAs that I believe will be available on July 1, 2023 for anyone to sign.

Overall top UFA (skaters)

1. Patrick Kane
2. JT Miller
3. Vladimir Taransenko
4. Damon Severson
5. Travis Sanheim
6. Tyler Bertuzzi
7. John Klingberg
8. Alex Killorn
9. Ryan Graves
10. Matt Dumba

(did I say "Geertsen"?, I meant, "Huberdeau")

I think Okposo stays in Buffalo. He's likely the captain

Man, anyone would be lucky to have Geertsen sign with their team, ain't no way he makes it to UFA though!

Kase is FAR more likely to be re-signed by Carolina than Fast. They're the same player, but Kase is better and younger. I also doubt Carolina extend Freddie. With Kochetkov likely ready for a backup role next year, it doesn't make sense to bring back a 33-year-old starter. They'll likely target Allen to help Kochetkov transition into a full time NHLer, may even keep Raanta, but I can't see it being Freddie they keep

A couple things stick out to me; 1) Quick probably retires or resigns with the kings, I’d say it’s pretty doubtful he goes anywhere else. 2) Gavrikov I think he resigns with Columbus, both side seem to like each other and I think they get it done before January, though I’d like to see him signed before the season starts.

On a smaller note I’d put Toews into the will likely retire after this season as a Blackhawk.

Meier is an RFA, and I feel Pavelski should be return or retire. Not sure about Ottawa retaining Talbot either. Other than that really solid list. Must've taken you a while
