Here are 4 decent RFA's that I believe are all still available.

Antoine Vermette OTT
Martin Erat NSH
Pierre-Marc Bouchard MIN
Valtteri Filppula DET

Why not take the money we were offering Sundin and put it to good use and send it these guys way.

Edit: Oh it appears Sportsnet is not to be trusted as it seems Martin Erat just got a 7 year extension in May

I'd love to get Pierre-Marc Bouchard over here.

I think he's a great player.

What picks would we have to give up if we signed him?

[marleau_12]

I <3 all of them.

I'd love Vermette more than any of them though.

[diehard1973]

The two RFA's I would slap offer sheets down on are:

Valtteri Filppula

and

Marek Svatos

I would like to see Gillis put a package together [Pyatt, Bieksa] for Vermette. If this happens, then we don't need Flip.

There is a rumor that we might try to go after Valterri Filppula.

Based on what Corey Perry just signed for your probably looking at 4-5m making it one of each 1st, 2nd, 3rd round picks.

Then maybe not...lol

[Chow-Time!]

Isn't Erat already signed by Nashville

I'd kill to have Valtteri Filppula here, so would a lot of puck bunnies here in Vancouver

Detroit may have no choice with their cap situation.
