After a handful of trades and contract extensions in February and March, the 2020 NHL free-agent market has become clearer.

Taylor Hall is still expected to be the most-wanted player, but teams have fewer options available now that Chris Kreider and Jean-Gabriel Pageau are locked into long-term extensions.

Defensemen Alex Pietrangelo, Torey Krug and Tyson Barrie, as well as goalie Braden Holtby are all expected to draw plenty of attention, but there is a drop off between Hall and the other free-agent forwards.
