February 9th, 2016 by Lyle Richardson Leave a reply »
With the NHL's Feb. 29 trade deadline fast approaching, there's considerable speculation over which potential unrestricted free agents could be dealt. While some could be traded if unsigned before deadline day, others, like Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer (pictured above), could be re-signed before season's end. 

The players on this list fill important roles with their current teams. Some, like Reimer, could prove difficult to replace if allowed to depart via free agency. A few, like Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos, will be expensive to retain but worthwhile over the long term. Others, like New Jersey Devils right wing Lee Stempniak, could be affordable re-signings.

Here's a look at the 2016 unrestricted free agents most likely to re-sign with their current teams before season's end. Their statistics this season, current salaries and value to their respective clubs factored into the compilation. You can add your opinion in the comments section below.
