2019 NHL Free Agents: Metropolitan Division – UFAs and RFA
Kevin Hayes and Mats Zuccarello are two of the top 2019 NHL free agents in the metropolitan division.

 

The 2018-19 season has just gotten underway, but it’s never to earlier to start looking ahead to free agency.

In one of our first NHL free agent series, we’ll be looking at unrestricted and restricted free agents for each team in each division.

Free agent and salary info came from Cap Friendly.

Our first look is at the Metropolitan division, and over the next few days will be posting UFAs and RFAs for the other three divisions.
