This list could also be used as an indicator on who may be available during the upcoming trade deadline. There are intriguing possibilities to say the least.
RFA Scott Perunovich could be interesting to watch. While on the smaller side, he does have some good puck-moving traits in a sheltered role with the Blues.
Roslovic bet on himself with that one year deal with Carolina and is fitting in well. He should generate a good amount of interest at only 28 years old.
