Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane (NHL Images).<\/p>\n
Patrick Kane tops Fox\u2019s list. He noted there were rumors that the 37-year-old winger was considering contract offers from his former club, the Chicago Blackhawks, and his hometown team, the Buffalo Sabres.<\/p>\n
SPECTOR\u2019S NOTE: Kane seems to be taking his time to consider his options. He\u2019s unlikely to be an expensive signing for either club. <\/p>\n
Defenseman Logan Stanley is reportedly still weighing his options. The 28-year-old is said to be seeking a four- or five-year contract worth up to $25 million.<\/p>\n
SPECTOR\u2019S NOTE: Stanley might have to revise his asking price. The best opportunity for him to get that deal was within the opening week of the market.<\/p>\n
Winger Eeli Tolvanen is believed to be seeking term on his next contract.<\/p>\n
SPECTOR\u2019S NOTE: The 27-year-old Tolvanen is among the youngest players in this summer\u2019s market. It\u2019s a little surprising that he hasn\u2019t signed yet. The longest term he\u2019s had on his previous contracts was three years.<\/p>\n
Some observers wonder if the Edmonton Oilers might have an interest in winger Vladimir Tarasenko after they previously \u201ckicked tires\u201d on Claude Giroux before he signed with the Ottawa Senators.<\/p>\n
SPECTOR\u2019S NOTE: Julian Gaudio of The Hockey News has the Oilers on his list of suggested destinations for Tarasenko. The others include the Buffalo Sabres, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Utah Mammoth.<\/p>\n
Defenseman John Klingberg is fifth on Fox\u2019s list. He noted the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers remain eager to boost the right side of their defense corps.<\/p>\n
Winger Patrik Laine remains available. The New York Islanders, Los Angeles Kings, Calgary Flames, and Minnesota Wild were reportedly considering him as a reclamation project.<\/p>\n
Other notables include forwards Michael Bunting, Reilly Smith, and Philipp Kurashev, and goaltender Cam Talbot.<\/p>\n
SPECTOR\u2019S NOTE: The remaining players on this list might have to wait until late August or early September to get new contracts. Some could end up on professional tryout offers during training camp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A look at the latest regarding the top remaining unrestricted free agents in today\u2019s NHL Rumor Mill.
