| Kyle Wellwood | Vancouver | 14-11-25 in 75 GP | Good hands and useful in shootouts; might flourish with some big wingers. |
| Defensemen | '09-10 team | '09-10 stats | Scuttlebutt |
| Shane Hnidy | Minnesota | 2-12-14 in 70 GP | 34-year-old defenseman still adds a physical edge and can be a useful bottom pair or depth player. |

| Mike Mottau | New Jersey | 2-16-18 in 79 GP | Late bloomer (32) who found a home in New Jersey; may have to show he can thrive in another system. |

Took a regular turn in Phoenix after coming at the trade deadline, but will have to prove he has something left at age 41. |
| Garnet Exelby | Toronto | 1-3-4 in 51 GP |
Never much of a points producer, at 29 he can still lend a physical presence as a depth defenseman. In Rangers camp for a tryout. |
| Lucas Krajicek | Philadelphia | 1-2-3 in 50 GP |
27-year-old is looking for a new home after becoming the odd man out in Philadelphia's revamped D. |
| Marc-Andre Bergeron | Montreal | 13-21-34 in 60 GP | Still has that big gun from the point, especially on PP, but not nearly as good in his own zone. |
| Goaltenders | '09-10 team | '09-10 stats |
