NHL free-agency watch: The 9 best players remaining on Day 2

On Day 2 of NHL free agency, nine notable players remain available after a busy opening day of signings and trades. The article highlights Anthony Mantha as one of the most attractive remaining targets, having scored 33 goals for the Pittsburgh Penguins last season on a bargain $2.5 million cap hit. The available players are characterized as solid depth and supporting-cast options rather than top-tier stars, reflecting what is considered a weak free-agent class this year.
