Here is Eklund's top 20 UFAs that are left. I have drawn attention to a few things.
1. Peter Forsberg-not returning until December
(Vancouver, Ottawa, Detroit, Philadelphia)
2. Teemu Selanne (Philadelphia)
3. Brendan Shanahan (NY Rangers, Buffalo, Montreal, Detroit)
4. Sheldon Souray (Buffalo, NJ, NY Islanders, Montreal, San Jose)
5. Danny Markov (Buffalo, Islanders)
6. Mike Peca (Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, NY Islander)
7. David Tanabe (Florida, NY Islanders)
8. Brian Berard (NY Islanders, Toronto, Dallas, Atlanta)
9. Eric Lindros (Dallas, Boston, Columbus, Anaheim, NY Islanders)
10. Joey McDonald (Anaheim, NY Islanders, Buffalo)
11. Eric Boulton (Chicago, Montreal, Boston, Atlanta)
12. Brian Boucher (Columbus, NJ, Buffalo)
13. Brent Sopel (Colorado, NJ, San Jose, Atlanta)
14. Martin Gelinas (Florida, Edmonton, Atlanta, Ottawa)
15. Robert Esche (Tampa, San Jose, Columbus)
16. Jeff Friesen (Anaheim, NY Islanders, Pittsburgh)
17. Sean Burke (Tampa, Columbus)
18. Josef Vasicek (Dallas, San Jose, Phoenix)
19 Eric Goddard (Vancouver, Philadelphia, Buffalo)
20. Darren McCarty (NJ, NYI, Montreal)
Obviously, I am trying to draw attention to Tanabe...WOOT! He FINALLY made the top 20 on someone's list. I am not so happy about who Ek says he is looking at especially Florida. They are one of my least favorite teams, so I would hate to see him there.
Another note: Ek is convinced that Philly is a top prospect for where Selanne will be headed. Noticed how he doesn't even have the Ducks up there for him?
Lastly, notice how many teams he has up there for Buffalo and the Isles. Either these teams are trying to completely revamp their teams, or Ek has officially lost it!
