Entering the dog days of summer, several notable NHL restricted free agents remain unsigned. They include Toronto Maple Leafs winger Mitch Marner, Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point, and Colorado Avalanche winger Mikko Rantanen.
Given how valuable those young stars are to their respective teams, one would assume they would've been re-signed by now. Indeed, it's expected all will eventually ink new deals with their current clubs before training camps open in September.
