Below I have listed all 30 teams and their UFA's that I will be tracking on The Rumor Chart. These do not of course account for all UFAs...just the ones that I feel are the most impactful..So as part of my research in getting this year's chart together and also continuing my series (Rebuild, Renew, Refresh?) I have complied what I believe to be a list ranking the 30 NHL teams as to how big of a NEGATIVE impact this July 1 could have on them. As you will see, it isn't alsways the number of players that are UFA's it is more the impact the general group could have on your team were you to lose ALL of them.

Of course many of these will be re-signed. I have put a * next to certain players who are UFAs but will certainly be re-signing with their current teams...Therefor their names are listed even though the impact of their possible departure is not taking into account.

Of course this is subjective...and I expect MANY debates..
