As the NHL offseason continues, teams are eyeing several restricted free agents (RFAs) who could command substantial salary cap hits before or during arbitration. Among those notable players is Kevin Fiala of the Los Angeles Kings, who had a breakthrough season, becoming a key offensive contributor. His performance metrics, including points-per-game and overall impact on the ice, make him a prime candidate for a significant raise.
Another player to watch is Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars, whose stellar play has turned him into one of the league's premier young talents. Robertson's offensive skillset, combined with his recent playoff success, could result in a hefty contract that reflects his value to the franchise. Teams will need to be prepared to invest heavily to secure distinguished RFAs like Robertson.
Finally, don't overlook the situation with Philip Danault, also from the Los Angeles Kings. After a strong showing, Danault's ability to play in critical situations and his defensive acumen are appealing to the Kings, who may be inclined to offer him a deal that aligns with his contributions on the ice. As these negotiations unfold, expect the conversations around these RFAs to intensify, setting the stage for potential cap hits that could shake up team budgets across the league.
