Speculation: underrated remaining UFAs

[VoluntaryDom]

I never really bought into Duclair. Clearly talented but doesn’t seem to have the work ethic to take advantage of his abilities.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

Jannik Hansen for a team needing a bottom 6 winger with PK experience

 

[CapnZin]

It's reported that Mtl and Pittsburg have interest. I guess it's more about him taking his time to chose, or wanting more terms (2-3 years and one-way)

Pit may have some trouble with cap. I don’t think they have the room anymore after that Johnson contract along with all of the other small signings.

He’s be good in MTL. Probably help their top 6. They just don’t have a C to help him out.

If I had to take a guess... PHI, CAR, FLA, DAL, VAN, and EDM May try and y’all to him. He could help all those teams out

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

The Oilers should give Duclair a chance.

 

[pheasant]

Not a bad idea. He has completely fallen off offensively, but he's still exceptionally smart defensively.

Ya, I'd say Enstrom's the best defender left on the UFA market. Not too much competition, really.

There's a couple underrated blueliners, too. Folin has been mentioned, Davidson is another. I actually think Jason Garrisson still has game, but he was buried in Vegas and had a silly contract.

 

[robertocarlos]

I'd sign Enstrom for 3 million. Maybe 3 years.

 

[MasterMatt25]

Tobias Enstrom

 

[SwissGrog]

What are your thoughts on Sbisa? Played quite well until November/injury wore an A on a finals team... Yes he had that horrible turnover but are there teams that could benefit from him? Or will be going back to NLA/KHL?

 

[DaveG]

Enstrom's easily the best guy out there at this point, but I'm not sure he doesn't just simply return to Sweden considering the health issue in his family.

 

[Erndog]

I'm not saying he's underrated, but I'm a little surprised Patrick Maroon is still unsigned. Some teams likely going to get him for dirt cheap.

 

[Acetylene]

Christian Folin.

No room for him in Los Angeles anymore? Is there a logjam at the D? Just curious.

Drew Doughty, Jake Muzzin, Alec Martinez, Dion Phaneuf, Paul LaDue, Oscar Fantenberg, Kurtis MacDermid, and potentially Slava Voynov.

It's unfortunate because he's a really good #5 RHD to have.

OK, thanks for the info! I don’t see much of the Kings, and am really only familiar with their top 4 and the Swedes. And Voynov, if he decides to come back. I think Folin is underrated, hope he finds a spot somewhere.

 

[Thrasymachus]

echoing the Enstrom mentions

He has lost a step but is still a solid bottom pairing guy imo

 

[LookAtThosePepperoni]

I liked Jerabek for the very limited time I saw him in Washington. I think if given the right situation he could become a cheap and valuable contributor to a team. I wouldn't mind Washington resigning him for their third pair.

Another vote for Duclair as well. I'd love for the Caps to pick him up and give him some time to develop and learn from the veteran forwards we have without the pressure of having to be a top contributor.

Did Jerabek had his name engrave on the cup?

 

[TheNewEra]

ah the bargain bin

ottawas time to shine

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Mike Cammalleri.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Did Jerabek had his name engrave on the cup?

Not sure. They haven't released the final list yet, to my knowledge. I think they'd have to petition to get JJ's name on the Cup since he didn't mean the regular season or playoff game requirements.

 

[Spurgeon]

The fact that a lotta teams see Hamhuis as a bottom pairing defensemen gives me a lotta confidence in Pateryn.

 

[nickschultzfan]

Folin is a good bottom pairing RD. Surprised more teams aren't interested in him

 

[Yamazaki]

Most teams can fill that roll internally

 

[LordNeverLose]

Enstrom. Many Sabres fans want him to come over and be Dahlins defensive partner and mentor.

Yeah I'd like the Isles to sign him to play with Pulock

 

[SensFactor]

Duclair I still think has something to prove.

 

[Brobust]

Dan Hamhuis. Still a good bottom pairing dman but is probably asking for too much

Watch the leafs sign him and use him on the top pairing.
