Free Agent Defensemen/Goalies 2011

by JustinM on Jul 1, 2011 11:09 AM EDT in News

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.

Is there a way to watch the TSN coverage online for free?

If you’re in Canada, looks like it will be streamed on tsn.ca

Jagrwatch Fail…. So much for Jagr’s triumphant return. Argh lets hope he signs back to KHL this is pathetic. His Agent is a joke.

Just reported it's off the table..

Well, there goes that. It sure was fun while it lasted. So, this begs the question, what FA do they chase now? Offensively…

Hopefully none. They need to be nice to the free agents if they want people to sign contracts.

/intentionally dense

And not a free agent, but...

Semyon Varlamov gets traded to the Avs, for a first- and a second-round pick.

I guess Colorado really, really wanted a goalie? I dunno. I’d heard that they were in on Vokoun, which would probably have been smarter, considering the cost in draft picks to get Varlamov.
