Top UFAs From The Bottom Up

06/26/2018 at 5:39pm EDT

Matt Larkin of The Hockey News with his Top 30 UFAs....

30. JACK JOHNSON, D, 31
2017-18 cap hit: $4,357,143

The Blue Jackets have so much high-end talent on their blueline that Johnson got pushed down the depth chart. On a lesser team, though, he could find his way to meaningful minutes again.

29. JAY BEAGLE, C, 32
2017-18 cap hit: $1,750,000

Possession numbers look hideous, but that's because he plays the other team's top lines and starts most shifts in the defensive zone. His usage was so D-heavy that it squashed his overall numbers. He's still a viable checking pivot.

28. JOHN MOORE, D, 27
2017-18 cap hit: $1,666,667

Has added a little bit of offense to his game and still plays with a healthy amount of jam. You could do a lot worse for your No. 6 D-man.

the rest....
