Free Agent Wingers 2011

Clearly the two biggest names in the free agent winger crop this year.

As was the case last year, I'm putting up threads for each position:  C, W, D and G.  Maybe it's just that the Penguins don't figure to be big players this year, but it doesn't seem like the crop is that strong.  These lists are based on the TSN lists minus people who had salaries under $1M last season because otherwise the lists would be as long as both my arms.  I'll include Penguins anyway, though.

Jump for the list.

Oh. I thought you were implying I’d left him out or something. :)

No, he’s that type of player, but he’d be a bit of a reclamation project. He hasn’t been really any good since 2006-2007.
