7thMan

Recommended Posts

Will free agency starting on Tuesday, I was wondering where CDC thinks the big names will go (and for how much. Here's a list of some of the big UFAs (let me know if I've missed anyone important):

Forwards:

Daniel Alfredsson
Mike Cammalleri
Mikhail Grabovksi
Ales Hemsky
Jarome Iginla
Jussi Jokinen
Milan Michalek
Matt Moulson
Brad Richards
Derek Roy
Paul Stastny
Thomas Vanek
Radim Vrbata

Defense:

Dan Boyle
Christian Ehrhoff
Andrej Meszaros
Matt Niskanen
Anton Stralman

Goaltenders:
Martin Brodeur

Jonas Hiller

Ryan Miller

For example, a few of my predictions:

Forwards:

Thomas Vanek - Minnesota, $7.25 million, 7 years

Jarome Iginla - Boston, $1 million with $5 million in potential bonuses, 1 year

Defense:

Anton Stralman - Detroit, $4.5 million AVG, 4 years

Goaltenders:
Ryan Miller - Vancouver, $4.75 million AVG, 2 years

Jonas Hiller - Edmonton, $6.5 million AVG, 5 years

I would sign Niskanen if it was 4 year term maybe 5. He's got some good years ahead of him still. Might be pricey, but he would make our D core very deep.

Not sure about the forwards though. Iggi would be sick to see in a Nucks Uni for a couple years, but I don't think he will want to come here.

I could see us landing another solid player the same way Arizona did though. More solid than Ganger hopefully though.

Dono who yet, but there are some cap strapped teams who will need to move people for cheap.
