Valid Free Agent Options...

Burke during his press conference did state that they might not be finished with their spending spree just yet. i am sure they might have a few offers out there that are being pondered over by the handful of free agents that are currently jobless.

Now most Leafs fans will be wondering who these guys are that the Leafs might still have interest in. Of course our major weakness is up front right now and obviously there aren't any exceptional top 6 forwards out there, but there are a few guys Burke might consider signing.

Here are some of the guys that Burke might still be considering for his team...

* Manny Malhotra

* Alex Tanguay

* Todd Bertuzzi

*Dominic Moore

I have chosen these guys as possible targets for Burke because they could boost lineup of forwards.

Manny Malhotra is a fantastic 3rd liner that gets his job done efficiently. A Mississauga native he definitely has ties to this city and would surely bring his best to the team and he would know how much it means to the fans to win. Manny is a great Penalty killer and his faceoff winning attributes do nothing but boost his value. He does everything that Burke wants and he does it well. A guy with leadership qualities on and off the ice really make it hard to not give his agent a ring to give him an offer.

Alex Tanguay is a funny one for Brian Burke and his team to mull over. He has a ton of skill but is questioned for his heart and his motivation levels at certain points of the season. There really is a good reason for the Habs to let him go. They know he is a brilliant playmaker right up there with the best but no one really wants a guy who doesn't care. Burke would be contradicting himself if he signs this guy but you can't ignore talent like Tanguay's.

Todd Bertuzzi is what you call a prototypical Burkian (really annoying isn't it?) power forward, he brings all the hard hitting qualities that makes Burke's mouth drool. He does have a past that hinders his ability to garner the big bucks cause he sure has talent and he really does know how to get to the front of the net. He would be a nice addition to the top 6 no doubt about it.

Dominic Moore has shown that he can excel in this market and that's a plus point. Obviously he didn't agree on a contract when Burke was offering him one and you would wonder if Burke would want a greedy guy like Moore. Burke needs to put his ego behind him and realize that the chemistry between Moore and Blake was amazing and if Moore is willing to come back for the price Burke was offering him then he should accept him back with open arms.

These are the guys that I think Burke will make an effort to sign and he might already have made an offer to all of them or at least some of them. It will be interesting to see where all of these guys head by the end of the off season.
