Inaugural Japers' Rink UFA Pool

Now that the season's over and done with, the real fun begins - the Inaugural Japers' Rink UFA Pool (I was going to call this "Beat Eklund," but I didn't want to disappoint anyone who would happen upon this post thinking it was an opportunity to take piñata-style shots at everyone's least favorite rumor-monger).

The contest is easy enough - pick the teams with which you think the following players will sign. You'll get one point for each correct answer, no points will be awarded for players whose intentions are known for certain prior to July 1 (i.e., a player who retires or is signed and traded, etc.) and the person with the most points on August 1 will win a $50 gift certificate to NHL.com. Only one entry per IP address will be counted, and no entries will be accepted after 11:59 p.m. on June 30 (if your entry is in before then, you can email the address at the bottom of this post to make any changes up until the deadline). Good luck!
