Alright, I wanted to do this last year, but couldn't get it done in time for the start of the free agency period. Now, we all have our opinions on the accuracy of Eklund. And we also have many people saying that a monkey could draw names out of a hat with better accuracy than him.

Well monkeys... here's your chance. Do the same thing that we think Eklund does - pick anywhere from 1-5 teams where the best UFAs will end up. Let's compare notes once September 1st rolls around, and we'll see who if any of us has a knack for this sort of thing.

Rules:
- No fewer than 20 UFAs
- No more than 40 UFAs
- Any UFA not picked by September 1st will not be included in your stats
- Any UFA that retires in the off-season will not be included in your stats
- Any entry that is shown as having been edited after July 1st will be disqualified
- Sedins can count as one, since no GM in their right mind would sign one but not the other
- Salary cap is not an issue because we all know teams will trade salary where needed
- (edit) you can have an overall score, and a percentage score - the way that works is for the overall score, if you pick 5 teams for a player, a correct pick will get you 20 points as opposed to 100 points for correctly picking a single team for a player, divide it by the total number of teams you pick for your final score (the fewer teams you pick overall, the better your score will be for accurate predictions). The percentage score, you only have to be right in any of your picks. So if you pick 25 players, and corretly guess the teams for 20 of them, you will get an 80% score no matter how many teams you pick (up to 5 teams each).
- (edit) you may ONLY select between 1 and 5 destinations for each player

My list to follow.

(edit)... and while I'm thinking of it, does anyone have a similar full Eklund list? Do not post it here, send it to me via PM to discourage working from his list.

I'm not sure what you mean... I said you can pick anywhere from 1-5 teams for each player (including their current team).

edit - I get it now... I mentioned it, but not specifically in the rules. It is now fixed.
