1. Cody Franson
2. Mike Green
3. Johnny Boychuk (he's been a fantastic fit on the Isles, I can see him re-signing there quite easily, they're a young strong team and he's figures prominently in their success)
4. Marc Staal (Do the Rangers let him walk? Can't see it and then there's the Hurricanes factor)

The top two to me are the most likely to hit the market. Franson could possibly be seeking 5m plus on the open market and from a Flames perspective do they really want to pay him more than Brodie? I'd take a shot at him if they could reel him in for equal pay to Brodie.

Green will fetch around the same price as his current deal because his offensive capabilities are still elite. The Flames could live with paying him more than Brodie I think. But injury history is an issue IMO.
