‘The free-agent pool potentially includes James Wisniewski, Tomas Kaberle, Kevin Bieksa and Christian Ehrhoff. Bieksa and Ehrhoff play for the Canucks, who won’t likely be able to offer contracts to two defensemen looking for big bucks. Bieksa, 29, was plus-32 this season, tied for second (with Lydman) in the NHL. He’s an alternate captain and workhorse averaging 26 minutes of ice time in the playoffs. His cap hit is $3.75 million.’
