from John Kreiser of NHL.com,
For a lot of hockey fans, Christmas really comes in July—July 1, to be exact. That’s when the NHL free agency market opens for business.
But while fans are like kids—dreaming of winning Stanley Cups if only their team can sign the “right” players—general managers are the parents who deal with the facts of life … they have to make sure any newcomers fit into the salary structure and mesh with the players they already have.

At the top of each position, John lists Bouwmeester, Hossa and Khabibulin. Read on for the complete list…

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.
What I am wondering this year is if there is enough COMBINED cap space to sign all these UFA’s as well as retaining the RFA’s.
It would be interesting to see the total available cap space and the total estimated contract values of all free agents.
