For goalies it's Dafoe (rumor has it will resign with the Bruins) and Barrasso (maybe re-signs with the Leafs?)

On defense Kravchuk (washed up), Berard (Bruins and Sens interested), Slegr (offensive), Suter (still dependable)

From what I have heard the Leafs are not interested in Fleury, but things do change.
