Caps to Be Cautious As Free Agency Opens

General managers will be busy making phone calls. Player agents will be busy answering them. Hockey fans across North America, meantime, will be busy hitting refresh on their Web browsers.

And it all begins at noon today when the NHL's annual free agent signing frenzy opens for business. This year's class is not considered a strong one, but a handful of the game's biggest names are expected to be available -- for the right price.

Forwards Marian Hossa, Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Mike Cammalleri and Marian Gaborik, among others, could change teams. Defensemen Mike Komisarek, Mattias Ohlund and Francois Beauchemin, to name a few, could change tax brackets. And goaltenders Nikolai Khabibulin and Manny Fernandez could change another franchise's fortunes.
