Might be worth its own thread, but I'm not sure who of the current projected UFAs would make sense for Calgary. There are a few star wingers and a few solid defencemen, but outside of guys like Bennett, Marner and maybe an older vet, I don't see anyone they'll really chase as they'll want to keep developing their young guys.
I also think we'll see fewer of the projected UFAs hitting the market this year. With the cap going up by a larger amount again, a lot of teams have more room to keep their teams together.
