July 1st is Shopping Day

Well it is for the NHL teams as Free Agency starts for the Unrestricted Free Agents. With names like Ed Jovanoski, Zdeno Chara, Teppo Numminen and Jaroslav Spacek among other blueliners the crop of free agents is quite plentiful. The level of talent for the forwards while not as high still some big names including Doug Weight, Patrik Elias, Bill Guerin, Jeff Freisen, Marc Savard are just some of the names that are available for teams in the market.

While my team Calgary has already traded for Alex Tanguay they still need some more scoring help. I do not think they will dig too deep into the free agent market as they have most of what it takes to go a long way in next playoffs as long as they get some scoring from the current crop as well as a couple of additions. It would be nice if Calgary could pickup another scorer without having to break the bank. Although I think he is an ass, Jeremy Roenick has indicated he wants to play for a Canadian team and if he has his head screwed on right he might be helpful on the scoring front. Should be an interesting couple of days as the teams make their moves.
