It appears two of the Golden Knights’ free agents won’t return next season.

Forwards David Perron and James Neal, who were unable to come to terms on new contracts with the Knights, fielded offers from other clubs when the interview period for unrestricted free agents opened Sunday.

Players can’t officially sign until July 1.

Perron’s agent, Allan Walsh, told the Review-Journal on Sunday that the Knights have not made a new contract offer since the season ended after the two sides had exchanged proposals at the trade deadline in February....

Neal turned down a five-year, $25 million offer from the Knights at the trade deadline, according to the Calgary Sun, in hopes of landing a more lucrative and longer-term contract.

Sportsnet.ca reported that Neal was looking for a contract with an annual average value of $6.5 million to $7 million.
