Let the free-agent bonanza begin.
The league announced last month it had finalized Friday at 12 p.m. ET as the official start of free agency.
Taylor Hall and Kevin Shattenkirk are two of the most prominent names available, while Henrik Lundqvist is part of a strong group of goaltenders free to the highest bidder. Here's where things stand with the trio of stars.
Taylor Hall
Hall is the best free-agent forward on the open market. The 28-year-old had 16 goals and 36 assists between his time with the New Jersey Devils and Arizona Coyotes.
