UFA Forwards PART DEUX

That's part 2 for you americans who understand no FRENCH!

Not to be overlooked after whom i consider the top free agents, these forwards may get some DRAMA/attention.....so exciting!!!

David Perron
Age  34
Position:  L/R  
Key ratings:  DF66 SC88 PA81
Originally drafted as a teenager by the Blues, he played with them for about 6 years before getting bounced around the league a little bit.....only to go back to the Blues, and settling in very consistently and productively in their top 6 for the past 4 years.  He doesn't seem to be slowing down, and although nothing special, it is that consistency in a veteran that makes him valuable as a winger who can play on either side.

 

Jonathan Marchessault
Age:  31
Position:  L
Key ratings:  DF61 SC87 PA82
OG Las Vegas Golden Knight; he broke out with them on their topline right away, and he hasn't stopped as he continues to be a very consistent and productive top 6 winger.

 

Max Pacioretty
Age 33
Position L
Key ratings:  DF61 SC92 PA81
Durability has become an issue these past couple of seasons, but his production and scoring when he is on the ice is undeniable.

 

Cam Atkinson
Age 33
Position R
Key ratings:  DF77 SC83 PA78
A few strong productive seasons in Columbus including a 41-goal season just 3 years ago, Cam seemed to be regressing as he entered his age 30's.  However, his production is still solid, especially on a Flyers team starving for consistency.  Especially for those GM's who really value the well-rounded strong DF offensive forwards, Cam may have a few suitors indeed.

 

Adam Henrique
Age 32
Position C/L
Key ratings:  DF67 SC84 PA79 FO88
A pleasant surprise; Henrique produced his best offensive season this past NHL season.  His versatility as a veteran with multiposition eligibility makes him useful and valuable at the right price.

 

Gustav Nyquist
Age 32
Position: L/R
Key ratings:  DF81 SC73 PA80
Nothing special, but for those Gm's who love the strong DF forward who could also fit in nicely in a top6 role, he definitely fits the bill.

 

Frederick Gaudrea
Age 29
Position C/R
Key ratings:  DF78 SC71 PA79 FO86
One of the younger unrestricted free agents, at the age of 29.  Is he a late bloomer in the NHL?  Or was this past season's solid NHL production a fluke?  Multiposition eligibility, and well-rounded ratings.

 

Who else is looking forward to free agency?  Love to hear your comments, especially of any anticipation of DRAMA.  Who is gonna threaten to QUIT this year after some heartache drama in free agency?
Please be civil and enjoy!  

Love,

Leon
