Here is the Latest Hockeybuzz Central top 15 UFA's
1. Bouwmeester: He is signing in Calgary. It will happen. I go back to a conversation that I had over a month ago with a team that was in the Jay Bo sweeps who told me," we were told he is going to Calgary and not to bother." The Panthers tried to create a distraction, but in the end the offers couldnt have been that good for Jay Bo if all Calgary had to do was give the rights of a lesser player and thrid round pick. Jay Bo chose Calgary, not the other way around. The deal when announced will have a cap hit slightly over 6..around 6.3. They are still working on term however.
2. Hossa: Once we learned that the cap wasn't going terribly down, we knew all we needed to know. The Wings will have a very long deal in place for aroung 5.5 per.
3. The Sedins: There are really only three teams that can make both deals. Vancouver, Montreal, and the Islanders.
4. Gaborik: Did he buy a house in Vancouver near his friend Demtira's house or didn't he? While I am confident that it gets done in Vancouver, LA and Edmonton are ready to jump
5. Komisarek: had a rough playoff, but that won't matter. Reportedly the agent and the Habs are working on a eal as we speak. I do know that Mike
wants to stay a Hab.
6. Gionta: small but very solid.
7. Ohlund: Intelligent player. No doubt
8. Beauchemin: Leafs love him
9. Oduya: Vital piece in NJ's future. Almost signed I hear.
10. Morris: Really hard working guy who showed up for th Rangers
11 Cammalleri: Must getbeyond the stereotyoe that he has out there. The Preds and the Islanders are in on him
12. Koivu: wants to end his career in Montreal, but less and less likely. I am hearing that there is a better than 75% chance that Koivu will join Selanne in Anaheim.
13. Tanguay: really looks like he is going to NOT re-sign in Montreal.
14. Antropov: asking price is a little high. Rangers and Wild like him as do I. just not for this
15. Knuble: I think his experience helps a certain team. He is like having a coach on the ice that can net 20. He will be missed in Philly.
more to come.
