Whose left in the FA pool?

Besides some of the names we have mentioned, here is a list of FREE AGENTS we would consider good finders here at Up in the Blues...

Francois Beauchemin - coming off a torn ACL - he can be a project for the 2010 season... sign him now, and see what you can do - maybe makes a return for a playoff push. Owns one of the hardest point shots in the NHL. Usually keeps the game simple from the back end. Uses his 6-0 frame to punish onrushing forwards.

Brandon Bell - another guy who can in and compete, and is 26. Owns plenty of offensive upside and the mobility to succeed in a wide-open system. Has improved his defensive-zone coverage at the minor-pro level. Might work well in Torts system. ( RFA )

Marc-Andre Bergeon - Has the ability to rack up points if given enough ice time. Makes a crisp first pass out of the defensive zone and joins the rush with aplomb. Powerplay Specialist - and lets face it folks - we suck on the PP.

Tyler Bouck - Is versatile, pesky and a sound defensive forward. Always gives maximum effort. Displays sound work ethic.

Nick Boyton - Plays a physical game and loves a heavy workload. Reliable in the defensive zone. Smooth skater and sound puck-handler. Possesses a hard, accurate shot from the point.

Dan Cloutier - and play him vs the Islanders - seriously though - if he can accept a backup job at league minimum - it would a MASSIVE upgrade over beachboy Valli.

Kurt Foster - Has a tremendous shot from the point and the potential to become a physical force from the back end--due to an imposing frame.

Jaime Lundmark - Why the hell not....

Travis Moen -Has good size and a sound work ethic. Possesses team skills and is a solid role player. Kills penalties with aplomb and adds toughness to the lineup.

Brandon Morrison - Is an excellent skater and playmaker. Has racked up points at every level. Is an important player on special teams and a decent face-off man

Joe Sakic - Owns one of the league's best wrist shots. Has smooth skating ability and crafty playmaking skills. Sees the ice well and is rarely out of position. - 10 yrs too late maybe.. but a 1 yr deal - maybe he helps drury rekindle his touch
