It's a bit skewed towards forwards IMO. As others have mentioned Weegar strikes me as a bargain, so does Coronato. Then there are guys like H. Lindholm, Slavin, Frosling, M. Andersson and D. Toews that provide a ton of value from the backend around the league. Monahan's contract is another bargain, but I'm not sure if he makes the list.
