News: Hemsky is not expected to be back in Edmonton next season, according to the Edmonton Journal. [+]
Impact: Hemsky is due to make $5 million next season and with his history on injuries and games missed it is unlikely the Oilers would want to pay him that amount.

Sergei Bobrovsky (CLS - Goaltender)
News: Bobrovsky has been named a finalist for the Vezina Trophy, awarded to the NHL's top netminder. [+]
Impact: He'll be competing with Antti Niemi of the Sharks and the Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist, but after an out-of-nowhere season that included 21 wins, a 2.00 GAA and .932 save percentage in 38 games, as well as a key role in guiding the cinderella Blue Jackets to within a tie-breaker of a postseason berth, Bobrovsky is arguably the favorite to take home the hardware.
