from Luke Fox of Sportsnet,

As the stock of contract-year players fluctuates with their performance this season, we rank the 15 most valuable pending UFAs left on the board for July 1.

15. Justin Williams
Age on July 1: 33
Position: Right wing
2014-15 cap hit: $3.65 million

Contract year report: With 12 goals through 42 games, Mr. Game 7 is on pace to score more goals this season than any other since becoming a King. Plus, we all know he peaks in May/June.

Latest dirt: Williams’ agent, Thane Campbell, told ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun this week that extension talks have broken off till season’s end for fear of distraction.

14. Francois Beauchemin
Age on July 1: 35
Position: Defence
2014-15 cap hit: $3.5 million

Contract year report: A reliable workhorse on the Ducks’ back end — 25 minutes a game is nothing to him — Beauchemin survived the mumps and a broken finger and has picked up his play since the Christmas break.

Latest dirt: Pretty quiet on the contract front, likely due to the Ducks’ wait-and-see approach as he recovers from injury. Anaheim’s young blueline depth — Cam Fowler, Sami Vatanen and Hampus Lindholm are all under 24 — could make things interesting here.
