There's no specific setting to scout impending free agents, the free agent one will only look for currently-unsigned players. But it makes sense to have one, I'll see if we can add an additional option.
Rights Available simply filters out all the players whose rights (in your league) belong to another team, so as an NHL team you could use it in the way you mentioned, or look at junior players who were passed over in the draft, or minor leaguers who are signed to AHL/ECHL teams, etc.
