Who do you think we should sign?

These are the guys available next year that are half decent: McDonald, Lecavalier, Sedin's, Antropov, Ohlund, Witt, Gionta, Legace, Beauchemin, Miller, Cole, Tanguay, Lehtinen, Havlat, Khabibulin, Horcoff, Cammalleri, Gaborik, Backstrom, Koivu, Kovalev, Komisarek.

Kunitz, Afinogenov, Zetterberg are a few more half decent UFA in 09

The two bolded players are the only franchise players, and there's no chance they hit the market.

After that, the selection isn't much better than what it is this year - especially when you take into consideration alot of those guys are going to be resigned, but the contracts can't be negotiated yet.
