It’s the Labour Day weekend, and NHL training camps open in a couple weeks. Players are already being offered PTO’s, but there quite a few notable names missing from the news lately. Below I’ve listed some of the big name NHL free agents still unsigned as informal skates kick off for teams.

**Jaromir Jagr**  
**2016/17 Team:** Florida Panthers  
**2016/17 Stats:** 16G, 30A, 46Pts  
**2016/17 AAV:** $5.515m

Jagr is the most talked about player. Will he sign to a contender? Will he end up a Golden Knight? Will he go back to the Czech Republic so he can play in the Olympics and then parachute onto a contending team at the trade deadline? I like that one the best.

**Cody Franson**  
**2016/17 Team:** Buffalo Sabres  
**2016/17 Stats:** 3G, 16A, 19Pts  
**2016/17 AAV:** $3.325m:

Cody Franson and the Maple Leafs have been linked, but with Ron Hainsey signing, I doubt he’ll be here. It’s surprising to see Franson still without a contract, but he’ll play in the NHL, just probably not where he’d want to be.

**Jarome Iginla**  
**2016/17 Team:** Colorado Avalanche/Los Angeles Kings  
**2016/17 Stats:** 14G, 13A, 27Pts  
**2016/17 AAV:** $5,333,333

Iginla has been rumoured to the Bruins all summer, but some hold out hope for a final season with the Flames. My guess is that if he doesn’t sign with someone by camp he’ll sign a 1 day contract with the Flames and retire.

**Roman Polak**  
**2016/17 Team:** Toronto Maple Leafs  
**2016/17 Stats:** 4G, 7A, 11Pts  
**2016/17 AAV:** $2.25m

Polak is recovering from a broken leg suffered in the playoffs against the Washington Capitals. Some Leafs fans are assuming he’ll be back on the team but the Leafs have a pretty shored up d-corps already. He’ll be back, just not right away I think.

And finally, the big name out there...

**Mike Kostka**  
**2016/17 Team:** Stockton Heat/Binghamton Senators  
**2016/17 Stats:** 3G, 21A, 24 Pts  
**2016/17 AAV:** $800,000
