2026 NHL Free Agents By Team

Pro Hockey Rumors’ up-to-date list of 2026 free agents by team is below. These are players who are eligible for restricted or unrestricted free agency after the 2025-26 season.

Restricted free agents are marked with (RFA). Potential Group VI unrestricted free agents are marked with the games played total they need to reach to be eligible for RFA status, if attainable. Players not currently on a team’s active roster, injured reserve, non-roster list, or buried list are not listed.

This list will continue to be updated throughout the 2025-26 season, so be sure to use it and our list of 2026 free agents by position/type as points of reference. Players are ordered by expiry status and cap hit.

Both lists can be found anytime under “Pro Hockey Rumors Features” on the right-hand sidebar of our desktop site, or under the Flame icon on our mobile menu. If you have any corrections or omissions, please contact us.
