Rusty bladezzz raped the **** out of the FA pool.

he raped the free agent pool before it was stocked with the new studs and undrafted rookies. Waste of time IMHO

"Good hockey." As if.

I don't really care, I just figured while I'm commenting on every thread, I mi's well weigh in here.

damn you Sparky!

I seriously thought Osipov was gonna fall all the way to me. GREAT pick, would've immediately been my #4 defensemen.

Sleepy hits the jackpot w/Bobak. Next in a long line of young super-stud goalies to enter the league (Sitto, Desautelle, Schoolfield, Voronin, Muhlstein).

Osipov was far too good to pass up. He also put a halt to my plan of trying to add a free agent as he's the 6th highest paid player on my team (before re-signing my expiring contracts).



Also, congrats on the 'ship.

They completely flushed the free agent lists except for coaches. Rustybladez screwed himself by filling his roster entirely from the old pool, and Damned (assuming he plays) is going to get screwed by having to fill all his players from the new pool. A few from each would've been the ideal. 

At these prices, two goalies and a coach is going to leave you with about $26M left for 22-23 skaters.

Brainchamp? fine job.

I was gonna shed salary to hop in the fa frenzy, but I don't see a whole lot worth going after. I originally had a trade set up with Donald, but even with trading Pitkin and dropping a couple guys, I can't free up enough cap to get the player(s) that are worth it. At least I got some much needed size and D in the draft.

Dakota, Seattle and Pittsburgh (along with Wylie, Stycky, Cy and Hellsinki) are well positioned to play the feud.

I see three must-haves on the list. That one guy is a sucker bet because o his stamina. I ain't paying a guy $2.6M when I have a guy on my team now with the same overall making <$1.4M and the guy on the FA list doens't have enough stamina to play big minutes w/o getting hurt or sucking in the 3rd period.

Free agents worth the bucks:

Otto Brzycki  
Ellis Nin  

Briyukov

Abilez and Kleppe are pricey, but would be instant impact among the goalies, along with the three that went undrafted or between $2.3-2.7M.

I like Kleppe.

Briyukov is a little girly man.

there's about nine guys under a $mil that I like in lesser/depth roles while they (hopefully) develop

Yeah. I wouldn't mind having a crack at a few, but not at the expense of shedding 5-7 mil in salary. Pittdood helped me out with a little more defense, and my offense should come around this year....damn cap. Too bad we can't up it a couple mil a year. I think we should buy this site and fix the ******. There's gotta be some money to be made with the bugs fixed and options expanded.
