The first few weeks of free agency have seen several NHL teams open their wallets -- including the huge signings of Zach Parise and Ryan Suter by Minnesota. But as we approach the end of July, there are still dozens of unrestricted free agents looking for a home, either with the club they played for in 2011-12 or one that has a hole it hopes to fill.

Here's a look at 30 of the top UFAs still on the market:

FORWARDS
NAME	2011-12 TEAM	STATS	SKINNY
Shane Doan	Phoenix	79 GP 22-28-50	Longtime Coyotes captain has shown he's not in any hurry to leave the only franchise he's ever played for
Kristian Huselius	Columbus	2 GP 0-0-0	Injuries wiped out most of 2010-11 and almost all of last season for 33-year-old after he averaged 26 goals from 2006-07 through 2009-10
Jason Arnott	St. Louis	72 GP 17-17-34	At 37, 400-goal scorer isn't the offensive force he used to be, but he's still capable of providing points and leadership
Tom Kostopoulos	Calgary	81 GP 4-8-12	Feisty fourth-line forward gives everything he's got, will stand up for teammates and even contribute a little bit offensively
Mike Knuble	Washington	72 GP 6-12-18	40-year-old forward looking for a new home after dropping from 24 goals in '10-11 to six this past season
Tomas Holmstrom	Detroit	74 GP 11-13-24	The 39-year-old isn't the scoring force he once was, but he remains an unmovable force in front of the net on the power play
Andrew Brunette	Chicago	78 GP 12-15-27	Soon-to-be 39-year-old may have a tough time finding a new home after scoring only 12 goals and 27 points last season after scoring 22, 25 and 18 goals in the previous three seasons
Jason Blake	Anaheim	45 GP 7-5-12	Now 38, Blake is coming off a serious injury and his worst offensive season in a decade
Mathieu Darche	Montreal	61 GP 5-7-12	Late-blooming 35-year-old's offensive production dropped sharply in '11-12
Jochen Hecht	Buffalo	22 GP 4-4-8	35-year-old German is a reliable checker who can contribute offensively but missed most of last season with concussion-related problems
Brian Rolston	Boston	70 GP 7-17-24	The 39-year-old was reinvigorated when he landed with the Bruins last season, scoring 15 points in 21 games
Daymond Langkow	Phoenix	73 GP 11-19-30	35-year-old center has 1,090 NHL games and 270 goals on his resume, but is no longer a top-six forward
Dominic Moore	San Jose	79 GP 4-21-25	Veteran center turns 32 in August; could be headed for 10th NHL team. He's still useful as a role player in the right situation.
Radek Dvorak	Dallas	73 GP 4-17-21	Still a useful third-liner and checker who can contribute a little offense as he approaches 1,200 games played
Petr Sykora	New Jersey	82 GP 21-23-44	Made Devils at camp and proved his scoring touch hadn't disappeared

DEFENSEMEN
NAME	2011-12 TEAM	STATS	SKINNY
Brett Clark	Tampa Bay	82 GP 2-13-15	Points dropped from 31 to 15; minus-26 rating was also a big drop from 2010-11. But he blocked 199 shots and even at 35 is still useful as bottom-pair defenseman.

Matt Gilroy	Ottawa	67 GP 3-17-20	2009 Hobey Baker winner has nice offensive skills but has yet to turn them into a regular berth on an NHL blue line
Jaroslav Spacek	Carolina	46 GP 5-10-15	Big blueliner still possess a big shot, and is reliable defensively - plus-64 last seven seasons
Pavel Kubina	Philadelphia	69 GP 3-12-15	Not the offensive force he was when he was younger, but still has size and a big shot
Michal Rozsival	Phoenix	54 GP 1-12-13	Hampered by injuries last two seasons and no longer a big offensive force, but solid in his own zone
Scott Hannan	Calgary	78 GP 2-10-12	Never a big offensive force, but OK in own zone and can still play 20 minutes a night
Steve Eminger	N.Y. Rangers	42 GP 2-3-5	2002 first-rounder was effective third-pair defender before injuries hit
Kurtis Foster	Minnesota	51 GP 4-10-14	Big shot but has never matched offensive numbers he put up with Tampa Bay in '09-10
Milan Jurcina	N.Y. Islanders	65 GP 3-8-11	Big guy with a big shot but coming off career-worst minus-34 season with Isles
