There really isn't much there that other teams would want. The ones that teams might show most interest in are Moulson, Wisniewski, and Roloson, with Martinek as a depth option, and an outside shot of Jurcina or Konopka earning inquiries for insurance.
Roloson probably has the most value, especially if a contender really feels their goaltending is a question mark. After that, Moulson might interest teams who need a bit more scoring punch. Wisniewski likely only intrigues teams whose defense is mainly a bunch of stay at home types, but needs a guy who can manufacture offense. And Martinek would likely be a good fit for a team that just wants a steady veteran for their third pairing. Jurcina and Konopka would only be intriguing to a contender as 7th defense/13th forward options.
But I don't see any actual players coming back the other way for any of them. Not long-term solutions, anyway. More than likely the other team will be looking to either unload their own expiring contract, throw in a middle round pick, or a middle tier prospect.

I think Moulson, Rolie and Wisniewski and Martinek (if healthy) all have pretty fair value. Particularly Wisniewski and Moulson. I have to say Moulson has been pretty damn impressive over the past year and a half. Any team could use him. Wiz has that shot and I have the sneaking suspicion that both will be moved and will get back decent returns.
