With Steven Stamkos reportedly agreeing to an eight-year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning, the marquee name from this summer's free-agent class has been accounted for.
Below is a look at some of the notable free agents for this offseason, in the non-Stamkos category.
Lucic scored 20 goals and had 35 assists in 81 games with the Los Angeles Kings last season.
Since he broke into the NHL in the 2007-08 season, Lucic is one of five players to accumulate at least 150 goals and 1,800 hits over that span.
Over the last three seasons, only three forwards have accumulated a higher plus/minus than Lucic's plus-69.
Backes scored 21 goals and 24 assists in 79 games with the St. Louis Blues last season, leading them to the Western Conference finals.
A second-round draft pick of the Blues in 2003, Backes ranks sixth in franchise history in goals (206) and points (460), and fifth in games played (727) and penalty minutes (969).
Backes is the only NHL player over the last three seasons with at least 70 goals (74) and 700 hits (739).
Staal scored 13 goals and had 26 assists in 83 games with the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Rangers last season.
Staal's totals in goals, assists and points last season were all his lowest since his rookie season in 2003-04.
His points per game have declined in each of the last four seasons, from 1.10 per game in 2012-13 to 0.47 per game last season, his lowest since his rookie season.
Reimer went 17-14-7 with a 2.31 goals-against average in 40 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and San Jose Sharks last season.
Reimer played 32 games for the Maple Leafs last season, and in that time he posted a 2.49 GAA and a .918 save percentage.
He was traded to the Sharks in February, playing eight games, in which he had a 1.62 GAA, .938 save percentage and three shutouts for San Jose.
