They're all on the downside. Their skills are diminishing instead of going up. $27M for the two forwards, and you're going to wake up one morning sometime soon and they'll be 50 overall, with 59 stamina and 16 potential. Be my guest. I'm going to trust my scouts. We've got 11 skaters and a goalie that signed their first pro contract with us, five of them draft picks. Hell, I've still got two guys left from season one. Three other guys who were other now-gone teams' 1st-rounders.
My payroll is now down in Atrain range ($80.6M). I haven't played free agent frenzy since the cap went away.
