Some have been locked down more securely than the crown jewels. Others are, regardless of their contract status as signed-on employees of Hibernian Football Club, a good deal more loosely connected to their current employers.
Hibs boss David Gray has made great play out of the importance of retaining key figures as he heads into his second season as Hibs boss. Which means sporting director Malky Mackay working overtime to do some sort of deal - whatever it takes, effectively - that would bring Nectar Triantis back to Easter Road for another season, at least. Over to Sunderland and the player himself on that one, right?
With Rocky Bushiri and Junior Hoilett both effectively out of contract and considering their options, Hibs fans will know to expect a summer of some uncertainty. But the club HAVE tied down a number of key performers to long-term deals over the past year or so, avoiding the very prospect of over a dozen players entering free agency all at the same time.
Here’s how the squad looks at the moment, then, complete with contract details. If you’ve forgotten about one or two of the Hibs players loaned out last season, well, that’s entirely forgivable.

17. Kanayo Megwa – Long term commitment
Signed a four-year deal with Hibs last summer, meaning he’ll be on the books until 2028. Right back, still just 21, spent last season out on loan with Partick Thistle. | SNS Group
18. Junior Hoilett – Free agency looms
Like Bushiri, the veteran Canadian international is effectively out of contract now. May depend on how much Hibs want to keep him for another year. But he will have options, some of them closer to home, as he looks to nail down a spot in Jesse Marsch’s World Cup squad. | SNS Group
19. Max Boruc – Out of time

20. Josh Campbell – One of our own
Hibernian Academy product is under contract for another season. Hard to see anything changing there as the attacking midfielder continues to give his all every time he gets picked. | SNS Group
