The NHL Free Agency is set to begin in two days, prompting teams to make crucial decisions regarding Restricted Free Agents (RFAs). Key players like Connor McMichael, Simon Nemec, and Olen Zellweger are in the spotlight, alongside emerging stars such as Trevor Zegras and top 2023 draft picks like Connor Bedard. The RFA qualifying offer deadline is today at 5:00 pm ET, which is essential for teams to retain player rights; failure to do so will make players Unrestricted Free Agents. Currently, no players have yet been pushed to UFA status due to missed qualifying offers.
