Will these talented young players opt for stability and security, or will they take a chance on a potentially lucrative free agent deal?"

Macklin Celebrini, Kirill Marchenko and Matvei Michkov are just some young NHL players who are eligible to sign a contract extension as soon as July 1, before becoming RFAs next summer.
