Which of these players do you want your team to pick up?

The following is a complete list of unrestricted free agents (UFAs) whose salary was over $750,000 last season.

2007 UFAs – Over $750K

I’ve included the actual cap hit only when it was as a result of a performance bonus. It is listed as the second figure, the first being the 2006-2007 salary.

Note: I went division by division, team by team, from highest paid to lowest paid UFA. I included Perreault, Backstrom and Pyatt as they should get higher salaries next season (and yes there are probably other players under $750K who will get raises too, but it’ll be interesting to see what Pyatt [Anson Carter money?] and Backstrom get and I still maintain Perreault [the All-Star] is a valuable addition to any team).
