Mitch Marner headlines the NHL's free agents to watch, if he makes it to market

Mitch Marner is set to join Leon Draisaitl, Auston Matthews, Nathan MacKinnon and Connor McDavid as one of the highest-paid players in the NHL, even if he does not get to unrestricted free agency. Beyond Marner, this is not one of the deepest free agent classes in recent history. Buzz began building over the weekend that the Vegas Golden Knights were working on acquiring the 28-year-old winger's rights from Toronto and signing him before the rest of the league gets the chance to woo Marner.
