whatever. let them both go to the wild. the only part that i find upsetting is that there are no appealing options to fall back on.

in terms of UFA options, that's for sure. looked at from a different angle though,
$12 mil in cap space is a pretty appealing option to have going forward, especially given the uncertainty of the CBA and the potential for the cap to drop once a new agreement is in place.

If Minny signs both players at $8-9million each that will put them over the cap. Perhaps we could be trade partners. Obviously, if they're shedding salary they won't take Martin, but they still need defense help even with the acquisition of Suter. I'm not going to start tossing names, but maybe some combination of mid-level talent and one of our top d prospects could land us Setoguchi?

(This is not a shot at you...just a question for you an any of the others who want to chime in)

What's the fascination with Setoguchi?

Exactly. He's just an overrated, overpaid, under-producing has been.


On a serious note, had this part of the decision at least been made a few hours ago, Sullivan might still be the point man on an effective PP unit here.

The longer this went on the less optimistic he was coming here. Can't believe I wasted four days for this. I have no life.

No doubt, Sullivan signed 2 hours too fast.


So they both went to Minnesota... Head scratcher... Can't wait to see the terms.

I like Matt Carle, don't like Matt Carle at above 5 million. But he'll be getting close to 6 million

He's going to cash in somewhere once the ink dries on Suters contract.
