Kukla's Korner Hockey

Who's Left In The UFA Market

07/01/2016 at 7:21pm EDT

from Matt Larkin of The Hockey News,

The 10 best still out there:

1. JIRI HUDLER, RW
Age: 32
2015-16 cap hit: $4 million

Career year in 2014-15, then tanked in contract year. Still a handy playmaking forward for someone’s top six.

2. RADIM VRBATA, RW
Age: 35
2015-16 cap hit: $5 million

One season removed from arguably being the Canucks’ best player. Will attract teams starved for secondary scorers.

3. KRIS RUSSELL, D
Age: 29
2015-16 cap hit: $2.6 million

A trap signing? Lauded for shot blocking but possession numbers suggest he was a below-average defender in 2015-16. Reports July 1 suggest he’s in for a payday north of $5 million per season.
