Lots of depth players but no big names found new teams in the 2010 pre-season Free Agent Draft. Baltimore kicked things off by taking a flyer on winger PA Parenteau, but the rest of the draft was dominated by teams picking up backup and third-string goaltenders, including Mathieu Garon (Ice Harbor), Chris Osgood (Altoona), Michael Leighton (Nashville), Jason Labarbera (Boston), Johan Hedberg (Sterling), and Andrew Raycroft (St. Louis).
