Today it was reported that New York Rangers star goalie Henrik Lundqvist signed a 6 year, 39million dollar contract with the rangers.

Last week Flames up and coming star defensemen Dion Phaneuf signed a wealthy contract.

The point is, this seasons UFA list is starting to shorten. most of the big intrests this season are starting to lock up with their respective teams(Dumont, Phaneuf, Lundqvist).

with big names like Mats Sundin, Marian Hossa, Rob Blake, Adam Foote, and Brian Cambell still unsigned for next season, and only 2 weeks to the nhl trade deadline, the frenzy is about to kick into high gear.
