And The NHL Keeps On Rolling Along Towards Free Agency

Even though some people on this blog would probably love to keep the business of the NHL away for the next couple of months to revel in the Bruins victory, time doesn't let us.  There are reports out there that the Salary Cap will be at $64 Million and the floor will be at $48 Million.  Here is a look at some possible Unrestricted Free Agents (and their 10-11 salaries) that can be signed come July 1.

And looking at some of those names on this list, it doesn't surprise me that some of the perennial cellar dwellers are where they are.  Columbus, Minnesota, and the Islanders have multiple people on this list.  And these are free agents that made $1.5 Million or above last year.  If you want to know about the situation that your team is in relative to the salary cap, it is all covered at capgeek.com.

I'm going to continue to revel and let those who get paid to worry about such things do the worrying. I do know that the reigning Stanley Cup champs are in good shape.

I believe that they are. Will lose either Ryder or Kaberle. They do have some youth in the minors that should be ready to go next year.
