I was bored tonight, so I threw together two lists. One for all UFAs next summer and one for all RFAs. Don\'t really know what to do with them Some of the players are marginal or suddenly irrelevant for different reasons (i.e. Radulov) but I still included them because they could be interesting in a lot of fantasy leagues. Which ones will change teams and why? Which RFAs are most likely to be poached? Yeah, I know, a lot is bound to change about it, but go nuts with it anyway.
Oh yeah, and the source I used is www.nhlscap.com if anyone\'s wondering.

Well I was board also so i read it.. Great list to see.. Wonder with the two staal brothers will be looking at for contracts next year.. should be good.. By the way you might as well take Radulov off of that list!... :P
Maybe that joke is still to early for it not to hurt!
