With the NHL postseason fast approaching, some teams will have a little extra time to make some decisions on what direction they want to go next year and fill their voids. Other clubs will battle in the playoffs for the ultimate prize, Lord Stanley's Cup.
One thing is certain: Every club will have a chance to improve its squad once the offseason begins, and some teams will inevitably make some major changes that could be the final piece to the puzzle.
While it is every team's intention to improve the club, some players that are free agents may not have much time left to prove their worthiness.
