An excerpt from Foxsports.com (Spector):

With the Nashville Predators recently re-signed promising young defensemen Ryan Suter and Shea Weber and the Penguins took goalie Marc-Andre Fleury to arbitration, the pool of available RFA talent has considerably decreased.

Several notable names still remain unsigned as July 1 approaches and could become targets for offer sheets. That list includes Anaheim’s Corey Perry, Florida’s Jay Bouwmeester, Columbus’ Pascal Leclaire and R.J. Umberger, Philadelphia’s Jeff Carter, Montreal’s Andrei Kostitsyn, Minnesota’s Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Ottawa’s Andrej Meszaros and Antoine Vermette, Detroit’s Valtteri Filppula, Edmonton’s Joni Pitkanen and Washington’s Mike Green.
