The only chances we have now are something like:
Just some that I can think of; will add later if someone brings up something good.
Edit:
Other possibilities:
Also some FAs maybe able to fit in:
- Trading a couple of 4th liners (Klink, Chip) + pick for LeCavalier, help them out with cap a little, while only picking up 2.5M net or so in salary. They can bury 4th liner small salaries in the minors and wouldn't count against cap.
- Trading for someone like Eriksson, since Boston is going to have a lot of problems resigning Krug/Smith, and he would be the obvious target to go. This would need to be a pure futures deal.
- Trying to get Berglund out of StL, since they still need to sign Sobotka + Schwartz, and don't have much cap space left. He would cost something like 2nd + prospect, not a bad option, but not a great scorer either; but he definitely can shoot when he plays LW.
- Caps are also rumoured to be looking for cap relief. Someone like Ward/Brouwer would be moved in that case. Neither is a great choice; but we can hope that one of them can turn it up a notch with a new team, and be a top 6 scorer that we need.
- Chicago is also looking to clear some space, and many believe that Versteeg will be on the move. While he for some reason isn't the player he used to be, but perhaps he can recapture some of the his performance during his first couple of years in the league.
- Wings may still be looking to move Franzen, and may be had for fairly cheaply. While his contract overall is very bad, his later years are actually small in terms of actual dollars. If we can get the Wings to retain some amount during the next two years, it's probably doable. We can hope that he somehow returns to form.
Just some that I can think of; will add later if someone brings up something good.
Edit:
Other possibilities:
- NJ for Brunner or Ryder?
- CAL for Hudler?
- Minn for Zucker ?
- Det for Tartar ?

Also some FAs maybe able to fit in:
- Setoguchi
- Alfredsson
- Heatley
- Penner
- Convince Selanne to play one more season with the org he came into the league with?
- ????
