2009 NHL Free Agents / Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA)


2009 NHL Unrestricted Free Agents by Position

Here is a look at potential 2009 NHL Unrestricted Free Agents listed by position (as of May 14/09). At the center position, it is not an overly strong crop. There the potential retirees in Mats Sundin and Joe Sakic, but Henrik Sedin, Mike Cammalleri and maybe Nik Andropov should draw plenty of interest. Wingers Marion Gaborik, Marion Hossa, and Daniel Sedin head the list of top free agent wingers. Jay Bouwmeester is the most intriguing defenseman hitting NHL free acency this offseason. Niklas Backstrom (re-signed), Tim Thomas (re-signed), Nikolai Khabibulin, and Manny Fernandez are several solid goaltending free agent options.
