Would love to see Lethonen or Clowe hit the open market or traded at the deadline. I don't see Clarke getting resigned rather traded. Lupul will get a 5 year deal at 5 million. - Viktory
U would love to see them hit the open market only to sign with/get traded to another team??...
The leafs have no shot at anyone u just listed... |

Yeah, well you have to narrow down the field with trials until you can get your top 8...Unless they could build a pool with 300 lanes... |

i mean the different variations of swimming
backstroke breaststroke etc...
it's like having a 400m running race with
1 normal 100m
1 with your hands behind you back
1 crab walk
1 chicken dance |

Well, they're different strokes that require different training...It's like being a center, wing, dman, goaltender, or Komi... |

We need something newer to talk about, this is the "supposed" TOP 30 list
2013 free agents as per sportsnet............ Discuss
Corey Perry
Age: 27
Team: Anaheim Ducks
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $5.325 million
Bargaining chip: Scored 50 goals en route to winning the Hart Trophy in 2010-11
Career curve: Slight dip after a career campaign
Best guess: Ducks do everything in power to re-sign, but Perry can name his price on open market. Get those Parise pesos
Ryan Getzlaf
Age: 27
Team: Anaheim Ducks
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $5.325 million
Bargaining chip: Had 91 points, good for sixth in NHL scoring in 2008-09
Career curve: Big dip. Despite playing all 82 games, had a career-low 11 goals and 57 points last season
Best guess: Dangled as trade bait. Regardless, gets a decent raise sometime between July 1 and 4
Jarome Iginla
Age: 35
Team: Calgary Flames
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $7 million
Bargaining chip: Two-time winner of the Maurice Richard Trophy with 52 goals in 2001-02 and 41 in 2003-04
Career curve: Steady as she goes. Eleven straight 30-goal seasons
Best guess: Frustrated by Flames' lack of improvement, starts exploring trade options to contender in December; draws Doan-like attention as UFA
Nathan Horton
Age: 27
Team: Boston Bruins
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $4 million
Bargaining chip: Career highs in goals (31) and points (62) in 2006-07
Career curve: Set back by injury, but will steadily deliver 20-plus goals and 30-plus assists if healthy
Best guess: Re-signed by Bruins during season, but only short-term
Scott Hartnell
Age: 30
Team: Philadelphia Flyers
Position: Left wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.2 million
Bargaining chip: Scored 37 goals in 2011-12 while making only career All-Star appearance
Career curve: On a significant upswing, despite being over a decade into his NHL journey
Best guess: Already indicated his wish to stay in Philly; should be re-signed with a raise because the Flyers don't want to face him
Stephen Weiss
Age: 29
Team: Florida Panthers
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $3.1 million
Bargaining chip: Career-high 61 points in 2008-09
Career curve: Steadying after peak. Coming off third 20-goal year and first postseason action
Best guess: Re-signed with raise by Panthers during year, but not after other centre-needy teams ring the phone
Alex Edler
Age: 26
Team: Vancouver Canucks
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: 3.25 million
Bargaining chip: Career-high 49 points in 2011-12 while making only career All-Star appearance
Career curve: Steady incline points-wise, but a top defender with an even plus/minus on a team as good as Vancouver's is tough to explain. Not quite elite yet
Best guess: Needing Edler for another playoff run, Canucks let him go to free agency, whereupon he will be overpaid
Kimmo Timonen
Age: 37
Team: Philadelphia Flyers
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $6.33 million
Bargaining chip: Four-time All-Star; most recently in 2011-12
Career curve: All-star aging gracefully; a plus who stays out of the box and will get you 40 points
Best guess: Re-signs a short-term deal with Flyers before end of season
Ryane Clowe
Age: 29
Team: San Jose Sharks
Position: Left wing
2012-13 cap hit: $6.33 million
Bargaining chip: Career-high 24 goals in 2010-11
Career curve: Dipped this season, along with most of Sharks, but should rebound in contract year
Best guess: Traded for defence before deadline; Sharks throw in yet another "e" in Ryane's first name to sweeten deal
Tobias Enstrom
Age: 27
Team: Winnipeg Jets
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: 3.75 million
Bargaining chip: Consecutive 50-plus-point seasons in 2009-10 and 2010-11
Career curve: Despite missing 20 games to injury, steadily on incline with maturity
Best guess: Re-signs with raise; Jets need all the defensive responsibility they can get
Patrik Elias
Age: 36
Team: New Jersey Devils
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $6 million
Bargaining chip: Scored 40 goals in 2000-01 while leading the NHL as a plus-45
Career curve: Thought to be on age-related decline, Elias is coming off his best season since 2008-09
Best guess: Little haggle; re-signs short-term with only team he's ever known
Mike Fisher
Age: 32
Team: Nashville Predators
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $4.2 million
Bargaining chip: Scored a career-high 25 goals in 2009-10
Career curve: Bouncing back from a spotty trade year, the NHL Foundation Player Award winner is a valuable component of the Preds and the Nashville community
Best guess: Does Mrs. Fisher still sing country tunes? Re-ups in Music City, no worries
Niklas Backstrom
Age: 34
Team: Minnesota Wild
Position: Goaltender
2012-13 cap hit: $6 million
Bargaining chip: Won the William M. Jennings Trophy with a 1.97 GAA in 2006-07
Career curve: Despite his team's dismal finish, Backstrom's numbers actually spiked last season
Best guess: Win column benefits from injection of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter; re-signs for two or three years
Lubomir Visnovsky
Age: 35
Team: New York Islanders
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $5.6 million
Bargaining chip: Career-high 68 points in 2010-11
Career curve: Languishing on an underachieving Ducks team, the journeyman's roller-coaster career dipped a bit
Best guess: The gamble either stays healthy and asserts himself as a top-two d-man on the Island or gets shipped to a contender
Sergei Gonchar
Age: 38
Team: Ottawa Senators
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $5.5 million
Bargaining chip: Four-time all-star, most recently in 2007-08
Career curve: Steady decline with age and loss of speed. Once a show-runner, is now a support player in Erik Karlsson Show
Best guess: Retires or signs for millions in KHL (or, encouraged by friend Evgeni Malkin, signs affordable one-year deal back in Pittsburgh for 2014 Cup shot)
Derek Roy
Age: 29
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $4 million
Bargaining chip: Scored a career-high 32 goals in 2007-08
Career curve: Bad news is he's coming off his worst full season; good news (sorta) is that it turns out he was hurt. Should respond well after surgery
Best guess: Gets another short-term shot in Dallas after playing only half a season
Mike Ribeiro
Age: 32
Team: Washington Capitals
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $5 million
Bargaining chip: Career highs in goals (27) and points (83) in 2007-08
Career curve: Responded to decline by having a decent 2011-12 contract year
Best guess: Revived to 20-goal, 70-point status under tutelage of Adam Oates and power-play time with the Caps' snipers, earns a three-year deal
Tim Thomas
Age: 38
Team: Boston Bruins
Position: Goaltender
2012-13 cap hit: $5 million
Bargaining chip: Two-time Vezina Trophy winner in 2008-09 and 2010-11
Career curve: Fell off a cliff, charts-wise, by taking a sabbatical from hockey
Best guess: Some U.S.-based team will take a chance on signing the Olympic hopeful to a one-year deal, possibly the Colorado Avalanche
Michael Ryder
Age: 32
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $3.5 million
Bargaining chip: Scored a career-high 35 goals in 2011-12
Career curve: Sharp peak since trade to Stars
Best guess: Stars and Ryder reach multi-year deal, as forward finds niche away from not-so-hockey-mad cities like Boston and Montreal
Daniel Alfredsson
Age: 39
Team: Ottawa Senators
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.875 million
Bargaining chip: Ranks fourth among active players with 1,082 points
Career curve: Loved his senior role in 2011-12, hosting All-Star Game and returning to playoffs
Best guess: One last kick at the Gatorade bottle in 2012-13, then calls it a career at 40
Andy McDonald
Age: 34
Team: St. Louis Blues
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $4.7 million
Bargaining chip: Set career highs in goals (34) and points (85) during the 2005-06 season
Career curve: Injuries have limited him to one full season since 2006-07, but was back to better than a point-per-game pace in the 2012 playoffs
Best guess: Re-signs short-term deal to remain in St. Louis, a team that has been patient with its talent
Jaromir Jagr
Age: 40
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Right Wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.55 million
Bargaining chip: Four consecutive Art Ross trophies from 1998 to 2001
Career curve: Production and role declined in return to NHL after three KHL years
Best guess: Sees stats drop off even further without Claude Giroux on his line; struggles towards season's end and goes back to KHL for swan song
Joffrey Lupul
Age: 28
Team: Toronto Maple Leafs
Position: Left wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.25 million
Bargaining chip: Set a career high with 67 points in 2011-12 while also making first All-Star Game appearance
Career curve: Dramatic upswing after playing only a fraction of three seasons
Best guess: Returns rested and ready, gets off to hot start and re-signs with significant raise
Ian White
Age: 28
Team: Detroit Red Wings
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $2.875 million
Bargaining chip: Career-best plus-23 in 2011-12
Career curve: Big upswing. Finally healthy again, White excelled in Detroit's system with support from now-retired Nicklas Lidstrom
Best guess: Forced to shoulder more responsibility on a Red Wings team blueline -- thin for the first time in years, White re-signs with raise because the D needs D
Mark Streit
Age: 34
Team: New York Islanders
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $4.1 million
Bargaining chip: Scored career-high 16 goals in 2008-09 while making his lone All-Star appearance
Career curve: Steady decline. Streit's points decreased for the third straight year and was a dismal minus-27 in 2011-12
Best guess: Bounce-back season playing alongside Visnovsky ups his value; used as trade-deadline bait with a contender in need of an experienced d-man
Ryan Whitney
Age: 29
Team: Edmonton Oilers
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $4 million
Bargaining chip: Set career highs in goals (14) and points (59) in 2006-07
Career curve: Injury-plagued decline; hasn't played more than 62 games since 2007-08
Best guess: The best playmaking defenceman the Oilers dress, will re-sign short-term
Ladislav Smid
Age: 26
Team: Edmonton Oilers
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $2.25 million
Bargaining chip: Career highs in goals (5) and points (15) in 2011-12
Career curve: Steady incline. Despite playing on one of the league's worst teams, was a plus-4 and chopped his penalty minutes in half
Best guess: Re-sign long-term deal with significant raise; gets to develop alongside Oilers' ridiculous forwards crop
Clarke MacArthur
Age: 27
Team: Toronto Maple Leafs
Position: Left wing
2012-13 cap hit: $3.25 million
Bargaining chip: Consecutive 20-plus-goal seasons in 2010-11 and 2011-12
Career curve: Cruising nicely in his prime
Best guess: Re-signs three-year deal in $4 million range
Teemu Selanne
Age: 42
Team: Anaheim Ducks
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.5 million
Bargaining chip: Scored 76 goals in 1992-1993 while taking home the Calder Memorial Trophy
Career curve: Ageless wonder continues to astound. Even in decline, he's good for another 25 goals
Best guess: Calls it a career for real this time; awaits phone call from Hockey Hall of Fame
Kari Lehtonen
Age: 28
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Goaltender
2012-13 cap hit: $3.55 million
Bargaining chip: Despite injury, his career-best .922 save percentage last season kept Dallas in the playoff hunt
Career curve: On the rise, improving his stats and Q-rating since leaving Atlanta
Best guess: Re-signs multi-year deal as Dallas's No. 1 goaltender - MindFr3eak
yes. I'll take these players. |

Career curve: Big upswing. Finally healthy again, White excelled in Detroit's system with support from now-retired Nicklas Lidstrom
Best guess: Forced to shoulder more responsibility on a Red Wings team blueline -- thin for the first time in years, White re-signs with raise because the D needs D

Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $4.1 million
Bargaining chip: Scored career-high 16 goals in 2008-09 while making his lone All-Star appearance
Career curve: Steady decline. Streit's points decreased for the third straight year and was a dismal minus-27 in 2011-12

Ryan Whitney

2012-13 cap hit: $4 million
Bargaining chip: Set career highs in goals (14) and points (59) in 2006-07

Team: Edmonton Oilers
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $2.25 million
Bargaining chip: Career highs in goals (5) and points (15) in 2011-12
Career curve: Steady incline. Despite playing on one of the league's worst teams, was a plus-4 and chopped his penalty minutes in half
Best guess: Re-sign long-term deal with significant raise; gets to develop alongside Oilers' ridiculous forwards crop
Clarke MacArthur
Age: 27
Team: Toronto Maple Leafs
Position: Left wing
2012-13 cap hit: $3.25 million
Bargaining chip: Consecutive 20-plus-goal seasons in 2010-11 and 2011-12
Career curve: Cruising nicely in his prime
Best guess: Re-signs three-year deal in $4 million range
Teemu Selanne
Age: 42
Team: Anaheim Ducks
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.5 million
Bargaining chip: Scored 76 goals in 1992-1993 while taking home the Calder Memorial Trophy
Career curve: Ageless wonder continues to astound. Even in decline, he's good for another 25 goals
Best guess: Calls it a career for real this time; awaits phone call from Hockey Hall of Fame
Kari Lehtonen
Age: 28
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Goaltender
2012-13 cap hit: $3.55 million
Bargaining chip: Despite injury, his career-best .922 save percentage last season kept Dallas in the playoff hunt
Career curve: On the rise, improving his stats and Q-rating since leaving Atlanta
Best guess: Re-signs multi-year deal as Dallas's No. 1 goaltender - MindFr3eak

Bargaining chip: Scored 50 goals en route to winning the Hart Trophy in 2010-11
Career curve: Slight dip after a career campaign

Ryan Getzlaf
Age: 27
Team: Anaheim Ducks
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $5.325 million
Bargaining chip: Had 91 points, good for sixth in NHL scoring in 2008-09
Career curve: Big dip. Despite playing all 82 games, had a career-low 11 goals and 57 points last season
Best guess: Dangled as trade bait. Regardless, gets a decent raise sometime between July 1 and 4
Jarome Iginla
Age: 35
Team: Calgary Flames
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $7 million
Bargaining chip: Two-time winner of the Maurice Richard Trophy with 52 goals in 2001-02 and 41 in 2003-04
Career curve: Steady as she goes. Eleven straight 30-goal seasons

Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $4 million
Bargaining chip: Career highs in goals (31) and points (62) in 2006-07

2012-13 cap hit: $4.2 million
Bargaining chip: Scored 37 goals in 2011-12 while making only career All-Star appearance
Career curve: On a significant upswing, despite being over a decade into his NHL journey

Team: Florida Panthers

2012-13 cap hit: $3.1 million
Bargaining chip: Career-high 61 points in 2008-09

Alex Edler
Age: 26
Team: Vancouver Canucks
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: 3.25 million
Bargaining chip: Career-high 49 points in 2011-12 while making only career All-Star appearance
Career curve: Steady incline points-wise, but a top defender with an even plus/minus on a team as good as Vancouver's is tough to explain. Not quite elite yet
Best guess: Needing Edler for another playoff run, Canucks let him go to free agency, whereupon he will be overpaid
Kimmo Timonen
Age: 37
Team: Philadelphia Flyers
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $6.33 million
Bargaining chip: Four-time All-Star; most recently in 2011-12

Age: 29
Team: San Jose Sharks
Position: Left wing
2012-13 cap hit: $6.33 million
Bargaining chip: Career-high 24 goals in 2010-11
Career curve: Dipped this season, along with most of Sharks, but should rebound in contract year
Best guess: Traded for defence before deadline; Sharks throw in yet another "e" in Ryane's first name to sweeten deal
Tobias Enstrom
Age: 27
Team: Winnipeg Jets
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: 3.75 million
Bargaining chip: Consecutive 50-plus-point seasons in 2009-10 and 2010-11
Career curve: Despite missing 20 games to injury, steadily on incline with maturity
Best guess: Re-signs with raise; Jets need all the defensive responsibility they can get
Patrik Elias
Age: 36
Team: New Jersey Devils
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $6 million
Bargaining chip: Scored 40 goals in 2000-01 while leading the NHL as a plus-45
Career curve: Thought to be on age-related decline, Elias is coming off his best season since 2008-09
Best guess: Little haggle; re-signs short-term with only team he's ever known
Mike Fisher
Age: 32
Team: Nashville Predators
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $4.2 million
Bargaining chip: Scored a career-high 25 goals in 2009-10
Career curve: Bouncing back from a spotty trade year, the NHL Foundation Player Award winner is a valuable component of the Preds and the Nashville community
Best guess: Does Mrs. Fisher still sing country tunes? Re-ups in Music City, no worries
Niklas Backstrom
Age: 34
Team: Minnesota Wild
Position: Goaltender
2012-13 cap hit: $6 million
Bargaining chip: Won the William M. Jennings Trophy with a 1.97 GAA in 2006-07
Career curve: Despite his team's dismal finish, Backstrom's numbers actually spiked last season
Best guess: Win column benefits from injection of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter; re-signs for two or three years
Lubomir Visnovsky
Age: 35
Team: New York Islanders
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $5.6 million
Bargaining chip: Career-high 68 points in 2010-11
Career curve: Languishing on an underachieving Ducks team, the journeyman's roller-coaster career dipped a bit
Best guess: The gamble either stays healthy and asserts himself as a top-two d-man on the Island or gets shipped to a contender
Sergei Gonchar
Age: 38
Team: Ottawa Senators
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $5.5 million
Bargaining chip: Four-time all-star, most recently in 2007-08
Career curve: Steady decline with age and loss of speed. Once a show-runner, is now a support player in Erik Karlsson Show
Best guess: Retires or signs for millions in KHL (or, encouraged by friend Evgeni Malkin, signs affordable one-year deal back in Pittsburgh for 2014 Cup shot)
Derek Roy
Age: 29
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $4 million
Bargaining chip: Scored a career-high 32 goals in 2007-08

Mike Ribeiro
Age: 32
Team: Washington Capitals
Position: Centre
2012-13 cap hit: $5 million
Bargaining chip: Career highs in goals (27) and points (83) in 2007-08
Career curve: Responded to decline by having a decent 2011-12 contract year

Tim Thomas
Age: 38
Team: Boston Bruins
Position: Goaltender
2012-13 cap hit: $5 million
Bargaining chip: Two-time Vezina Trophy winner in 2008-09 and 2010-11
Career curve: Fell off a cliff, charts-wise, by taking a sabbatical from hockey
Best guess: Some U.S.-based team will take a chance on signing the Olympic hopeful to a one-year deal, possibly the Colorado Avalanche
Michael Ryder
Age: 32
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $3.5 million
Bargaining chip: Scored a career-high 35 goals in 2011-12
Career curve: Sharp peak since trade to Stars
Best guess: Stars and Ryder reach multi-year deal, as forward finds niche away from not-so-hockey-mad cities like Boston and Montreal

Age: 39
Team: Ottawa Senators
Position: Right wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.875 million
Bargaining chip: Ranks fourth among active players with 1,082 points

Bargaining chip: Set career highs in goals (34) and points (85) during the 2005-06 season
Career curve: Injuries have limited him to one full season since 2006-07, but was back to better than a point-per-game pace in the 2012 playoffs

Jaromir Jagr
Age: 40
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Right Wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.55 million
Bargaining chip: Four consecutive Art Ross trophies from 1998 to 2001
Career curve: Production and role declined in return to NHL after three KHL years
Best guess: Sees stats drop off even further without Claude Giroux on his line; struggles towards season's end and goes back to KHL for swan song
Joffrey Lupul
Age: 28
Team: Toronto Maple Leafs
Position: Left wing
2012-13 cap hit: $4.25 million
Bargaining chip: Set a career high with 67 points in 2011-12 while also making first All-Star Game appearance

Age: 28
Team: Detroit Red Wings
Position: Defence
2012-13 cap hit: $2.875 million
Bargaining chip: Career-best plus-23 in 2011-12

Age: 28
Team: Dallas Stars
Position: Goaltender
2012-13 cap hit: $3.55 million
Bargaining chip: Despite injury, his career-best .922 save percentage last season kept Dallas in the playoff hunt
Career curve: On the rise, improving his stats and Q-rating since leaving Atlanta
Best guess: Re-signs multi-year deal as Dallas's No. 1 goaltender - MindFr3eak
