There sure are a lot of overpaid players on that list. Of all of them the only ones who can expect to sign similar deals are Vanek, Iginla, and maybe Boyle with all the talk surrounding him. Miller to I suppose will get paid well, but only if a team is willing to bring him in after a mediocre run in St. Louis (hopefully Vancouver). Everyone else on that list is pretty much on borrowed time at this point in their careers. It kind of shows what type of players end up in free agency these days (old or replaceable players). It's nearly impossible to build a contender through free agency. July 1st is essentially becoming the day for decrepit hasbeens.
