These were our only UFAs following the 2003-2004 season:
Craig Conroy, (III) -
signed with LA (he was instructed to take the most money he could get prior to the lockout kicking in by his agent I believe)
Dave Lowry, (III) -
retired
Dean McAmmond, (III) -
signed with St Louis after the lockout
Kryzstoff Oliwa, (III) -
signed with New Jersey (only played 3 games)
Had the 04/05 season taken place we likely would have been able to recruit a UFA or 2 to join us to replace Conroy and McAmmond in particular. Of course we signed Darren McCarty, Roman Hamrlik, and Tony Amonte before the 05/06 season, traded for Langkow and Huselius, and brought in Phaneuf as a rookie and a brief appearance for 22 year old Mark Giordano...
