THE UFA TEAM

NHL training camps are set to begin next week and there remains a myriad of talented hockey players left on the free agent market. I thought it would be fun to create a UFA Team compromised of both restricted and unrestricted free agents who may still end up landing a job with an NHL team. Please let me know if you believe this team could challenge the Florida Panthers for Eastern Conference mediocrity.
