Lafontaine (CAR) and Henrikson (MTL) seem to have some NCAA eligibility remaining so I'm not sure if this list is 100% accurate.
What happens if these players aren't signed before then? Do they become UFAs?

EDIT : The only exceptions might be the 3 Euro goalies (Durny, Brattstrom and Kloucek) who were drafted in 2018 at 20-21 years old.

Frederik Andersen was in the same situation in 2012 after failing to come to terms with Carolina who had drafted him as a 20-year old in 2010. He got the opportunity to reenter the draft in 2012 where he was picked by Anaheim.

Pittsburgh Penguins land college free agent Drew O'Connor - TSN.ca

According to TSN Senior Hockey Reporter Frank Seravalli, the Pittsburgh Penguins have landed undrafted college free agent forward Drew O'Connor.
O'Connor, 21, has been a force for Dartmouth this season, scoring 21 goals and adding 12 assists in 31 games. He recorded 26 points in 34 games last season.

From Frank Seravalli's most recent Friday Five:
"The ECAC’s Co-Player of the Year has sprouted into a can’t-miss find. O’Connor was just 5-foot-8 at age 18, a big reason he wasn’t on NHL radars in his draft year, but has grown to 6-foot-3 while playing for the appropriately named for the Big Green. NHL teams have flocked to watch O’Connor, who they see as a legitimate NHL power forward prospect with a nose for the net. His 38 goals (in 68 games) are the third most in the country over the last two seasons – with a 16 per cent shooting percentage this season – but his overall game has grown as much as his body. There is definitely no shortage of NHL interest in O’Connor, but there is no guarantee the sophomore will decide to leave school early."

Dartmouth alumni who have gone on to play for the Penguins include Tanner Glass, Nick Johnson, Lee Stempniak, and Ben Lovejoy.

Report: Penguins in on sizable Dartmouth forward Drew O'Connor

He could be another Tanner Glass.



6-foot-3 and 190lbs, O’Connor has the size to cope with the step up to pro. He also skates very well for a player of his size without having standout speed. Whilst not being renowned for being a playmaker, he does have good hands but his main talent so far has been as a goal scorer.
O’Connor is currently the third highest goal scorer in the NCAA with 22. He is averaging 4.5 shots per game which also ranks near the top of the NCAA. These shots are coming from many different areas of the offensive zone, showing that O’Connor is equally comfortable using his slap shot or crashing the net for a tip or a rebound.

Which undrafted free agents should the Sabres look at?

How the heck do you grow 7 inches at age 18... I would have tried a lot harder had I know it was possible!
