Sportscity has put together it's Top 30 Unrestricted NHL Free Agents for the 2008 offseason. When putting together this list, we looked at the players age, the likelihood that they might sign with a different team, if the players stats/play are declining, and the overall interest that player would draw in the overall market place. An example of this could be that we left Joe Sakic off this list, as he'd only play in Colorado (in our minds). For all 2008 NHL free agents, see: NHL UFA's by Position, NHL RFA's
