​If the remainder of this NHL free agency class had existed a decade ago, there wouldn’t be a single team general manager on vacation right now.Nearly two weeks into 2026 free agency, some of the biggest stars are still on the market. Unfortunately for them, Father Time is starting to catch up, meaning they aren’t nearly as sought-after as they once were.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHere’s a look at who’s still available.Position: Right wingAge: 37Height: 5-foot-10Weight: 176 poundsHometown: Buffalo, New York2025-26 production: 67 games played, 16 goals, 57 pointsWidely considered the greatest American-born player of all time, Patrick Kane still has the ability to choose his destination, even as he approaches his 38th birthday.At the right price, no team would turn its nose up at him. Kane isn’t the 100-point player he once was, but he did score at a 70-point pace last season. Any team would be better with that type of player in its lineup.He also brings the leadership and experience of three Stanley Cup championships (including the 2010 Cup-clinching goal), an Olympic silver medal and just about every individual award the NHL has to offer.Position: Right wingAge: 31Height: 6-foot-5Weight: 240 poundsHometown: Longueuil, Quebec2025-26 production: 81 games played, 33 goals, 64 pointsAdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSigning Anthony Mantha to the contract he probably feels he deserves would be a gamble.He scored 33 goals in the 2025-26 season, helping the Pittsburgh Penguins to the most unlikely of playoff berths — but that was his first time putting up double-digit goals in a season since 2023-24.The injury bug just hasn’t been kind to him. If he can stay healthy the way he did last season, he could be a good addition for a team. Of those 33 goals, 26 came at even strength, meaning he doesn’t need to rely on power play time to put the puck in the net.That’s a valuable ability to have.Position: Right wingAge: 34Height: 6-foot-1Weight: 219 poundsHometown: Yaroslavl, Russia2025-26 production: 75 games played, 23 goals, 47 pointsIn the last five seasons, Vladimir Tarasenko has played for six different teams. That’s a lot of moving for himself and his family, but he has proven in the process that he can provide value to almost any team (his year in Detroit seems to be an anomaly).AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementAdding him on a one- or two-year deal could be a smart move for a team looking to add a bit of secondary offense.Position: Left wingAge: 28Height: 6-foot-4Weight: 208 poundsHometown: Tampere, Finland2025-26 production: 5 games played, 0 goals, 1 pointsHow many players in NHL history have had both a 44-goal season and a zero-goal season by age 28? Just Patrik Laine, though a core muscle injury kept him out of all but five games for the Montreal Canadiens this year.The No. 2 pick in the 2016 draft has had fresh starts with a couple of new teams, but he has never been able to get back
