upto 3 mill for Sundin is a deal imo. If I'm not mistaken, after he got warmed up he was doing a point per game, and came through in the Playoffs... A step behind his former self or not, it's still hella better than alot of the players available in FA right now.
Schneider? Gotta be traded if Luongo is resigning. I believe in new beginnings and would say go after Heatley then try to transform him into a non-douche but we have no capspace.
I've also changed my stance on Wellwood, I've realized we worked on him as a project, and the project was a success, as to the type of player we wanted him to be. I would say resign him for upto 1.7, but there's simply no roster space left for him, unless we make a trade for a D-man shipping a forward or 2 out.
I think our D is solid. Even without Ohlund. Edler is really smart, he knows what kind of D Van needs, he knows what kind of D is working in the NHL right now. We're gonna see him go ahead of Bieksa in points this season and become recognizeable as a legit offensive D. Sami staying healthy is a MUST though, he needs to work his muscles out alot, stretch, and work on being a little more agile/limber on the ice so he's not taking stiff bumps.
Steve Bernier... He is gonna be the Kes/Bur of last year. I'm calling it right now. This guy has the heart and determination to become a true power forward, something that Pyatt never developed into..
We have 7.2 left to spend..
Need a 8th D. Be it coming from the moose or our UFA/RFA players from this offseason we have the resources, and shouldn't cost more than a milly. If we do need a better D-man like everyone seems to think, there's a couple out there left you could snag for 3-4m.
Sundin resigns. 3.
I like Hansen and Pyatt. But we don't have the roster spots for them.
Need a back-up goaltender.

Just saw that, lol. Also SoB resigned. He and Rome will be the last D pair I guess.. Unless they wanna keep Juice and him together.. Then I guess Salo will get bumped down so he doesn't have to over-exert himself? lol.

I don't mind the raycroft signing he's had success in the past and maybe luongo will be a positive for him.I'm assuming that's what's he's thinking.Go to van learn from the best goalie in the league and then go for a starting job next season with another team.I'm curious to see how the forwards situations finishes.You have to think both grabner and hodgson are looking for spots.Wellwood has gone to arbritration.I'd like to see him back as he played well and was one of the best players we had in the playoffs.But like you said it doesn't look to be any room for him.Same goes with pyatt and hansen.Maybe the sign Hansen to a two way contract to keep as depth player which I think might be likely unless he gets a garaunteed roster spot on another team.We need another d though because aaron Rome is not a replacement for ohlund.That's 20 minutes of ice time and both power play and penalty killing minutes.The big x factor is sundin.As each day goes by we have less and Less money and it looks as though theirs no room for him.
