We're getting into the doldrums of the offseason, but several talented young players are waiting for contracts. Lots of these players are high-profile names that don't quite qualify as prospects anymore, but I do think its time to ramble about a few lesser-known pieces that have unclear futures.

Over the course of the last two seasons the Minnesota Wild moved both their first and second round picks in the 2017 NHL Draft. With a pick in the third round, two picks in the fourth, and a pick in each remaining round, the chance at acquiring significant upside was considered minimal entering the draft. [...]
The 2017 NHL Entry Draft symbolized the start of a new era for the Los Angeles Kings. When Rob Blake took over for Dean Lombardi as general manager this summer, he was handed an uncomfortable salary cap situation and a pretty shallow prospect pool. This summer represents a new beginning for the former Western Conference [...]
The Panthers entered the 2017 draft in an interesting situation. To the surprise of many (including myself), Florida chose to expose their leading goal scorer from last season in Jonathan Marchessault, and proceeded to trade another of their top 6 forwards in Reilly Smith to Vegas.

With 11 picks in this year’s draft and six in the first three rounds, the Wings [...]

Entering the 2017 NHL draft, the Edmonton Oilers held eight picks. They ended up only drafting seven players due to trading the 82nd pick and the 126th pick for the 78th overall selection. As expected, the Oilers went heavy on forwards and light on the backend. They ended up selecting four forwards, two defensemen, [...]
After a lackluster 2016-17 campaign, the offseason has been a whirlwind thus far. The Dallas Stars fired Lindy Ruff, hired Ken Hitchcock, lost center Cody Eakin to Vegas expansion, bought-out Antti Niemi, traded for Marc Methot, signed free agents Martin Hanzal and Alexander Radulov, and hope to have finally found a reliable goalie Ben Bishop.
