Notes:
R.J. Umberger is one of the more underrated forwards in the NHL.  His three-year stint in Philadelphia culminated with a fantastic playoff run in 2008.  He scored 10 goals and added five assists over 17 games during the Flyers' surprise run to the Eastern Conference finals.  His reward was a trade to lowly Columbus.  For the last couple of seasons, though, he has been one of the blue Jackets most dependable players.  He even had a stint on my fantasy hockey team last year, which inspired me to temporarily rename my team the Umberger Helpers.
