As the NHL offseason heats up, one question on the minds of hockey fans and analysts is the fate of the remaining restricted free agents (RFAs). With the recent trend of RFAs signing mid-term contracts, it's possible that the remaining RFAs may follow suit. In recent years, players like Connor Hellebuyck and Mika Zibanejad have signed deals that exceed the standard 7-year term, but with a shorter average annual value. This trend has sparked debate about the future of RFAs and the role of general managers in negotiating contracts. Will the remaining RFAs, including notable players like Adam Fox and Noah Dobson, be the next to sign mid-term deals?
