Who's left?

From NHL.com:

FORWARDS
Shane Doan Phoenix 79 GP 22-28-50 Longtime Coyotes captain has started talking to other teams but is still not in any hurry to leave the only franchise he's ever played for

Kristian Huselius Columbus 2 GP 0-0-0 Injuries wiped out most of 2010-11 and almost all of last season for 33-year-old after he averaged 26 goals from 2006-07 through 2009-10

Jason Arnott St. Louis 72 GP 17-17-34 He's now 37 and isn't the offensive force he used to be, but the 400-goal scorer is still capable of providing points and leadership

Tom Kostopoulos Calgary 81 GP 4-8-12 Feisty fourth-line forward gives everything he's got, will stand up for teammates and even contribute a little bit offensively

Mike Knuble Washington 72 GP 6-12-18 40-year-old forward looking for a new home after dropping from 24 goals in '10-11 to six this past season

Tomas Holmstrom Detroit 74 GP 11-13-24 The 39-year-old isn't the scoring force he once was, but he remains an unmovable force in front of the net on the power play

Andrew Brunette Chicago 78 GP 12-15-27 Soon-to-be 39-year-old may have a tough time finding a new home; he scored only 12 goals and 27 points last season after scoring 22, 25 and 18 goals in the previous three seasons

Jason Blake Anaheim 45 GP 7-5-12 Now 38, Blake is coming off a serious injury and his worst offensive season in a decade

Mathieu Darche Montreal 61 GP 5-7-12 Late-blooming 35-year-old's offensive production dropped sharply in '11-12

Jochen Hecht Buffalo 22 GP 4-4-8 35-year-old German is a reliable checker who can contribute offensively but missed most of last season with concussion-related problems

Brian Rolston Boston 70 GP 7-17-24 The 39-year-old was reinvigorated when he landed with the Bruins last season, scoring 15 points in 21 games

Daymond Langkow Phoenix 73 GP 11-19-30 35-year-old center has 1,090 NHL games and 270 goals on his resume, but is no longer a top-six forward

Dominic Moore San Jose 79 GP 4-21-25 Veteran center turns 32 in August; could be headed for 10th NHL team. He's still useful as a role player in the right situation.

Radek Dvorak Dallas 73 GP 4-17-21 Still a useful third-liner and checker who can contribute a little offense as he approaches 1,200 games played

Petr Sykora New Jersey 82 GP 21-23-44 Made Devils at camp and proved his scoring touch hadn't disappeared

DEFENSEMEN
Brett Clark Tampa Bay 82 GP 2-13-15 Points dropped from 31 to 15; minus-26 rating was also a big drop from 2010-11. But he blocked 199 shots and even at 35 is still useful as bottom-pair defenseman.

Carlo Colaiacovo St. Louis 64 GP 2-17-19 Solid second-pair defenseman who can move puck well but has had injury problems

Matt Gilroy Ottawa 67 GP 3-17-20 2009 Hobey Baker winner has nice offensive skills but has yet to turn them into a regular berth on an NHL blue line

Jaroslav Spacek Carolina 46 GP 5-10-15 Big blueliner still possess a big shot, and is reliable defensively - plus-64 last seven seasons

Pavel Kubina Philadelphia 69 GP 3-12-15 Not the offensive force he was when he was younger, but still has size and a big shot

Michal Rozsival Phoenix 54 GP 1-12-13 Hampered by injuries last two seasons and no longer a big offensive force, but solid in his own zone

Scott Hannan Calgary 78 GP 2-10-12 Never a big offensive force, but OK in own zone and can still play 20 minutes a night

Steve Eminger N.Y. Rangers 42 GP 2-3-5 2002 first-rounder was effective third-pair defender before injuries hit

Kurtis Foster Minnesota 51 GP 4-10-14 Big shot but has never matched offensive numbers he put up with Tampa Bay in '09-10

Milan Jurcina N.Y. Islanders 65 GP 3-8-11 Big guy with a big shot but coming off career-worst minus-34 season with Isles

GOALIES
Dan Ellis Anaheim 1-5-0, 2.72 GAA Veteran backup lost much of last season due to injury

Alex Auld Ottawa 2-4-2, 3.35 GAA Well-traveled backup looking for his ninth NHL home

Ty Conklin Detroit 5-6-1, 3.28 GAA 36-year-old lost his backup job in Detroit last season and figures to have trouble finding a new team

Dwayne Roloson Tampa Bay 13-16-3, 3.66 GAA Coming off worst season of career and has to show he has something left in the tank at age 42

Brent Johnson Pittsburgh 6-7-2, 3.11 GAA 35-year-old backup is coming off injury and might have to scramble in tight market

Remember when Dan Ellis was relevant and we cared about his tweets? Ahhh, good times.

 

[puckhead]

you could have just said "no one"

- I am still surprised when I see that Darche is 35.
- Auld signed in Austria or Switzerland or somewhere over yonder

 

[pixburgher66]

It's also revealing how old that list is. Geez, most are closer to 40 than 30.

 

[filosofy29]

If the prices weren't too bad, I wouldn't mind Rolston or Colaiacovo in San Jose.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

The Red Wings are going to make a killing.

Anyways, got to get that minimum average team age back up to 38.

 

[Eddie_Shack]

Kind of crazy Hecht is only 35, seems like he's been around forever. Dvorak too.

 

[sbb122]

There is a guy missing on that list that i think the Penguins should offer a cheap (1.5m) 1 year deal. If he would remove his head from his ass and grow up a lot he could be a decent pickup in a top 6 role with Crosby.

 

[Comeds]

I like Moore and Kostopoulos. I think they could be useful.

 

[xalbox]

Where is Dallas? They should be excited to add some more age to their antique collection

 

[forty_three]

Doan and Langkow.

That's about all I got left to hope for. Between the two of them, they can almost replace Nash.

 

[mattola]

holy crap on a cracker. I dont think you know Nash enough if you make that statement.... if you think you are mad now at his return. WAIT until he delivers with some players around him. you will lose your mind lol

 

[BF4L]

Very disappointed in the Bruins management. I would have thought they could make a good move to make us better.

 

[DevilishWon]

Rumor has it Lou is going to re-sign Sykora. I thought he was done but he proved me wrong last year

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Rumor has it Lou is going to re-sign Sykora. I thought he was done but he proved me wrong last year

We certainly need some goal scoring help. I'm ok with it as long as he's limited to a bottom 6 role and the PP. If he gets 2nd line minutes again expect him to fall off hard the 2nd half of the year like he did last season.

 

[Automattic]

I'm still here. I thought I would have been signed by July 4th. This is really gonna fuck up my financial future...

 

[mattola]

i was really banking on a 5 year deal to finish my career... call didnt come

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Rolston is a disgrace to the game. He played like a dog last year for the Islanders & woke up with the Bruins. I hope nobody gives him another contract.

 

[flyersfan4706]

Moore or Arnott, and call it an offseason Homer.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I see that tim thomas was correctly left off this list
