There's more potholes that you need to steer clear from on that list, then there are gems. Steer clear of Whitney, Jagr, PAP, Smyth, etc. All of which will be seeking far more than they're worth.
IMO, guys like Bickel, Jurcina, and Harding are going to be great bang for the buck kind of guys.
^ Not Jurcina, he was a brutal pylon. Might be injuries causing slowness but I would've taken Reese over him from NYI. Harding sorta struggled with playing a higher number of games so I'm not sure if he's ready yet.
Per Elite Prospects, Drew MacIntyre, who played last season with Rochester of the AHL and a couple with Buffalo in the NHL, has signed with HC Lev Praha of the KHL.

I do agree that Jurcina sucked at times, but he made a difference for us anyway you look at it. Without him in the line up, we had no big bodys on the back end and one less booming shot from the point. Overall, he is decent.
Surprised about Pouliot. It seemed like he fit in quite well with Phoenix in the playoffs (he got into 8 playoff games!), I'm surprised he'd give up on the NHL now.
