The first day of free agency saw many high-ranked players finalize deals quickly, making the day feel underwhelming. Notable delays were caused by star forward Nikolaj Ehlers, who required additional time to choose his next team. Other prominent free agents involved include Pius Suter, Dmitry Orlov, and Brent Burns. In contract news, Andrew Mangiapane signed a two-year deal with the Oilers, and key Capitals players like Lars Eller and Ethan Bear also signed with new teams.
The first day of free agency was a bit of a bust after several high-ranked players in the free agent class inked deals before noon.
Talented top-six forward Nikolaj Ehlers further held up things by needing more time to come to a decision on his next landing spot.
The other top remaining players available include: Pius Suter, Dmitry Orlov, Brent Burns, Jack Roslovic, Matt Grzelcyk, Victor Olofsson, Gustav Nyquist, Mason Appleton, Anthony Beauvillier, and Jeff Skinner.
Andrew Mangiapane signs two-year deal with Oilers late on first day of free agency, while Lars Eller leaves Capitals to sign one-year deal with Senators.
