Kreider, Zuccarello, Brassard, J. Moore, and Falk are notable RFAs. Stralman, Boyle, Pouliot, and Diaz notable UFAs. Not that Glen will or should sign all of them but the ones he has to keep are going to take a considerable chunk of the cap money releasing Richards creates. I also think there will be more opportunity for youth to rise this coming year than perhaps any other in recent Ranger history when you consider the available free agents next year that are young and not looking to sign that one last contract before retirement (a common Sather misdeed).
Notable UFAs available in the offseason in their early 30's or younger are Heatley-L, Gaborik-R, Vanek-L, Stastny-C, Cammelleri-L, Hemsky-R, Legwand-C, Pitkanen-D, Michalek-L, Callahan-R, Meszaros-D, Roy-C, Quincey-D, Salo-D, Orpik-D, Schultz-D, Bolland-C, Moulson-L, Jokinen-L, Setoguchi-R, Vrbata-R, Grabovski-R, Klesla-D, M. Green-D, Ott-C, and Kulemin-R. Definitely some great names there many of which will be resigned by their respective teams but you're basically talking 6 LW, 5 C, 7 RW, and 8 dmen the Rangers might show interest in. Then Glen has to factor in how many of those 26 who aren't resigned would fit into AV's game plan. It's a pretty thin crop.
