Every year around this time we start to hear the murmurs. Offer Sheets. Obviously, we don't see these RFA's snatched up too often, but each year as the salary cap gets tighter and money in some markets get harder to come by, we hear more and more rumours of teams working up their offer sheets, while teams with RFAs work harder and harder to find ways to keep their young stars and teams together...

This summer could be really interesting. There are close to 100 RFA's out there, but here are 25 forwards who are still unsigned and could be coming to a city near you.

My 3 Questions to You...

1. Who would you like your team to go after from this list?
