Here is a list of all the upcoming UFAs at the end of this season:

http://capgeek.com/free-agents/

Given that we may have issues with Cammy leaving and trying to meet the cap floor, who do you see us pursuing?

Honestly someone like Heatley coming in for a year or two wouldn't be terrible... wouldn't be ideal, but it'd help us with the cap floor for sure, not that he would get as much money as he's on now.

I would love to see them try for Moulson, Setoguchi or Penner as far as wings are concerned (only one though)

Don't think we target any centers, we've got Stajan, Backlund, Monahan to work in our top 3, plus another potential guy coming in through the draft and someone like Granlund coming in from the A.

On Defence, if we still have Wideman and Gio, I'm not sure it makes sense for us to try pick up any older big name free agents, thought I think if they could get someone in their late 20s it could work out, but I'd still rather not.

We probably need to pick up another Goalie as I'm not sure we want Joey Mac backing up the entire year... if we could somehow manage to get Brian Elliott that would be awesome, otherwise someone like Ray Emery might do the trick.

Love to hear everyone else's thoughts, I'm just rattling off a few ideas here for fun.
