2027 NHL Free Agents

Pro Hockey Rumors’ up-to-date list of 2027 free agents is below. These are players who are eligible for restricted or unrestricted free agency after the 2026-27 season. The player’s 2027 age is in parentheses.

Players who are currently free agents or on our 2026 free agent list are not shown here. Players who have team or player options for the 2026/27 season aren’t listed below, but will be added to this list eventually if they remain on their current contracts.
