Nevermind, found the place under the tags. But, I still don't think legal unless Ek or RW have an agreement in place.

What did you guys think of the Gagne signing by CBJ for only $0.650M? I never liked him but it was pretty cheap even to use him as a 13th forward or whatever.

Btw. I'd rather get Cullen back than Vermette. Cullen is a perfect fit for us. Vesey? I don't think he's comming. Hudler, Nice choice if we could get him for $1M.

Me too but in the hypothetical situation that he is not signed, who would you rather have on the 4th line, Vermette (assuming he can be had cheap but perhaps shouldnt even assume that) or Sundqvist?

Eric Fehr all things considered. Then flank him with the best combination of Kuhnhackl, Wilson, and Sundqvist. I wouldn't be completely opposed to vet minimum Vermette, but I don't think he's a better 4C than Fehr at this juncture. He's definitely better at faceoffs than Fehr, but Joe Vitalle was a great faceoff guy and look at where that era's fourth line got us.

If we can't sign Cullen my first choice Would be Hudler (@ vet minimum). I'd throw Fehr as a C or try Sündqvist (he'd be getting experience - win win). Vermette Would be my 3rd choice after Cullen and Hudler.

As for Vesey and Pirri, I think we are definitely out on them. Really. Not that I don't like them..
