Darren Dreger shared yesterday that he would be shocked if Mitch Marner and agent Darren Farris aren’t on a plane on June 26th. That date is important. It is the start of the NHL free agent visiting process. A process New York Islanders fans are all too familiar with.
However, what we may not be aware of is that process is eligible to all NHL free agents, both restricted and unrestricted. Dreger contends that flight would begin the Marner camp’s process of visiting clubs in a position to make an offer sheet.
