2008 Top NHL Free Agents List - ProSportsDaily Forums

This is a pretty helpful list. It shows free agents grouped by position in order of current salary (highest to lowest).

The Defense list (which is all we should be looking at) is the second one after centers and it starts like this.

From the armchair GM thread, I like this site better:

nhlnumbers.com » Free Agent List

Sortable by position and type and team. A really powerful resource.

I believe Jackman and Boyle were resigned by their teams to long term contracts already...and Blake isn't 37. He's 38.

Realistically you mean right? Obviously if you give me that list and say who would you pick I would immediately start listing Lidstrom, Redden etc... But realistically we obviously need a good defensive defenseman so I would get aiming at the likes of Stuart, Smith, Liles, Commodore, and Montadore off the top of my head. I can't wait for this offseason just because I am very curious what Lombardi has in store for us.

Commodore would be a great piece to have on our back end. And what are the chances of Lombardi making an offer for Gleason?

Jason Smith and Mike Commodore would be nice. I'm assuming Blake re-signs.

Personally I would like Lombardi to stay away from the regular free agent market and focus on the College Stuff.
More PURCELL'S!
Less HANDZUS'S!

but in all seriousness, maybe Schultz? or to have Matty back wouldn't be horrible. Not much on that list has interest to me.

Liles is a smaller offensive defenseman like Lubo but the rest are solid choices.Nick Schultz was re-signed by MN.
