Frank Seravalli of TSN: There are more than 300 pending free agents.
Pending free agents that are playing in the play-in round may look for extra contract insurance.
Will players who are not taking part in the play-ins and who may not be on the ice for seven months have their earnings impacted? Players like Wayne Simmonds or Mark Borowiecki.
