Feel free to disagree, agree, manipulate, but I think we all pretty much agree on # 1

22 Top 21 Defensemen, eh? Only on hockeybuzz...

This list sure highlights the "slim pickings" status of this off-season. The same can be said at all positions.

I'm not particulary impressed. Eliminate the players that will likely re-sign with their current teams it looks even more underwhelming.

UMMMMMMMM....NO....where the hell is Chara?? Good HB very very good! What a bunch of tools over there.

^ EDIT: I didn't read the beginning. Hehehehe...okay then. Good thing it's friday eh?!

Meh... fair enough. There are a number of names on that list I would love to have on the Sens. More so then on the list of UFA D-men. However, I agree that the most attractive names will probably re-sign or be too expensive for Ottawa. If Murray's "Top priority for the summer" is a Top-6 forward (according to that interview via conference call) I see him settling on signing Comrie at a discount.

Chara isn't UFA, I believe he has another 3 to 4 years on his deal.

Edit nevermind, you caught yourself, TGIF have a beer. :GHF:

Wouldn't Komisarek look good on our blue line?
Put him and Volchenkov out together... it'd be a search and destroy mission...

I have to question Ek's placement of Neil over Comrie.
