The Flood Gates Are Open/FA Rankings
Posted 5:46 PM ET | Comments 7
It seems that the Predators-Flyers deal, much like the one at the deadline, has opened up the flood gates. Eklund has stated in his blog that the phones are ringing off the hook. Today and the subsequent two days will be quite exciting for many fans. Expect the unexpected unless it involves Bryan Berard.
--------------------------------
And now for the second batch of FA rankings. Timonen (#1 D until yesterday), and Hartnell (#4 Wing until yesterday) have been removed with their healthy contracts ($8M this year for Kimmo, $5.2M for Hartnell).

The cheap Coyote organization will not be active in the free agent market.
The cheap Coyote organization will not be active in the free agent market. 30 mil. under the cap !!Chep, cheap, cheap.
Uh, aren't you forgetting a few people? Giguerre, Briere, Drury, Rafalski, Schneider, Kariya, Selanne, Bertuzzi, Shannahan, Guerin, Calder just to name a bunch.
truthbluth is right, Also Cujo, I didnt even read past goalies because I noticed how faulted it was. Did you make this list off the top of your head or did you find all the FA's somewhere (not the right place in this case) and rank them yourself?
