Whose left and who would you want out of whose left. Heres a partial list with what I think beside each one.

Joe Sakic - would love to have him but if he signs it will be with the Avs.
Peter Forsberg - retire already!!!
Mark Parrish - would welcome him to Nucks!
Alexei Zhitnik - he's in decline, best as a 4th or 5th now.
Glenn Murray - would look great with the Sedins
Shanny - would love to see him in Canada

oh ya, and
Mats Sundin - Welcome to Vancouver

As an Oiler fan, I probably would only want Sakic...or maybe Forsberg pending a physical. The Oilers have a lot of forwards right now, so Murray, Parrish and even Shanny would either not fit, or would cause one of the young talented kids to be held back. Sakic or Forsberg would cause issues in the lines, but how can you turn away one guaranteed hall of famer, and another who will likely get in, to help teach some of the young kids how to win.
Zhitnik belongs on a bottom feeder team at this point, not a team who is rebuilding...especially one that already has 3 pretty good offensive d-men in Vishnovsky, Souray and Gilbert.
 
As a Kings fan I would love to see Sakic and Shanny sign but that's just wishful thinking. Guys like that have earned the rite to play for contenders rather than basement dwellers. I could see Glen Murray resigning with the Kings but only time will tell.
 
Sakic is kind of taking a long time to "decide", though I think he stated he wanted to finish his career after the 2010 Olympics... and evidently will resign with the Avs
 
I cant see Joe leaving the Avs at this point in his career. He will take his time announcing....but no doubt will be back.
 
I think Joe will be back in Colorado - there or nowhere else.

As a Canucks fan I could really care less about Forsberg, Parrish or Murray - none of them are adding anything to the club except years, hype and unwarranted expectations.

Everyone is still bagging on Sundin but I would love to see him in Vancouver - and would gladly overpay for him for two years - they will either spend that money on him, a couple of slugs, or not spend it - may as well give it a shot.

Shanny - I would think he will find his way back to NY and can still contribute
Teemu - if Anaheim wants to make a run they should get him in again - I am sure he would sign there for pennies on the dollar
