I'm talking about value.... so if Hamhuis and Perron come in for 3-4 each for 2-3 years I think it helps this team more than an overpay for Lucic/Erikkson etc over 6 years.

Like I said there are a lot of quality players on the market and not a lot of cap space to go around. There are going to be some ridiculously good value deals signed, which depending on how the season goes can also likely be flipped for assets at the TDL.

I don't want Hamhuis unless it's a large hometown discount and NO NTC. If he was willing to go to Boston we would have a 2nd round pick right now
In theory I agree with you though. Target a couple mid level UFA's and offer 2/3 year terms and hopefully trade them for picks if we aren't in a playoff position. 5 or 6 year terms are concerning.
