Restricted Free Agents Hit Open Market | NHL News

NHL free agency is heating up as several expected restricted free agents hit the open market after their teams missed the qualifying offer deadline—signaling either a price dispute or a team ready to move on. Players like Matias Maccelli (14 goals, 39 points for Toronto), Arthur Kaliyev (40 AHL goals, only 2 NHL games), Paul Cotter, Egor Zamula, and Joe Veleno are now unrestricted and free to negotiate with any of the 31 other teams. With big contracts off the table and teams tightening budgets, these players could find new homes—or even return to their old teams—making this a pivotal moment in the offseason.
