I've received a couple questions to answer for the next mailbag blog...going to wait for more things to talk about though as right now its nothing more then "Iginla Iginla Iginla blah blah blah...." and training camp stuff.

If anyone has questions/concerns they'd like me to address, please submit via PM. Thanks!

Hey Collin. I know it has been discussed in some detail over the lock out but it may be worth revisiting. There are still a few very interesting RFA's out there; Benn, O'Reilly, Subban.... What's your take on offering 5mil contracts to either and coughing up our 1st & 3rd in 2013? At this point, with the season about to begin, is there maybe more of an appetite for the teams to trade either if these guys and if so, what might it take?

At 5M all teams would match in a heartbeat IMO.

I'm not so sure that COL would. Even DAL is still a bit of a budget team.

No way they let Benn leave via offer sheet. The money is worth icing a respectable lineup. They run a serious risk of having no fans show up this yr as it is.
