As much as there are 8 teams in the East already out of it, and likely 4 more in the West by the Deadline, will there really be a good supply of players being sold?

For some of these fringier teams like the 3 California teams and Dallas, I'm not so sure they'll sell any of their better UFA players vs keeping them. So Pavelski, Hertl, Maier, Rackell are all players who likely stay with those teams with new contracts.

So it's going to be more a matter of picking thru the Montreal, Ottawa, Arizona, Chicago, Seattle rosters for UFA's to be to see what will be available. Still a couple decent pieces to be had. But I think a guy like Jarnkrok might be costlier to acquire because he has a low salary, and is very versatile in terms of where you can play him in the lineup, and that he can play any position. There's a short supply of that type of player, and there's likely 15 other teams with playoff aspirations who can fit him somewhere in their lineup.
