He's played a lot with Ovie/Backstrom at 5v5 though. Didn't the Jets just let him walk for nothing?

Yep

Yep. We need to lose a few, not add them.

I want Hagelin. I know he's a 2nd/3rd line tweener but I bet he can skate backwards faster then anybody on this team can skate at all. Boy we need speed
- Bieksa#3

Haeglin would be a nice pickup depending on the price to get him.

Yep
- Bieksa#3

I wonder who defences focus on from that trio

Referring to your comment on the last blog. Another derailment in timmins?
- Bieksa#3

Gogama, right outside of town.

Tankers in the river.

Hagelin will cost about 4.5 - 5 and a career high 17 . You said it yourself he is a tweener.

Yep

So Fehr at 2 mil and 18 goals is a worse option than Hagelin at 5 mil and his 17 goals ?

How much do you think he would cost?

21 goals in 2010. According to you no GM should ever sign another UFA in case he turns out to be Clarkson
- VANTEL

He's a bottom 6 player. I'd much rather put the $2 million towards a useful FA signing.

You really think those will be their cap hits?

Matthias might get 6 mil then.

What FA would that be Marty St Louis at 7 mil? The free agent pool sucks. Worst in years.

I sure hope the Jets make the playoffs this year. No other city in the league deserves it more and I think they could do a ton of damage once in there.

That's why I'd avoid it. Go bargain hunting after the first week.

So then avoid it.

Fun team to watch, physical/fast and decent skill. Goaltending will make or break them though.

Yep.

Soderberg is another option

Agreed. We aren't gonna win anything anytime soon. So why get tied into bad contracts.

The guy has been working like crazy. Came home to Waterloo for6 yrs and they called him back in.

Way more useful towards re-signing Tanev, Dorsett. Maybe taking on contract from a team that needs the space.

Zucerello just signed a discounted 3.5 without hitting UFA and he is not as good as Hagelin

Yeah, I was through the last place he was at a few nights ago. The place is still super busy. I guess most of the people needed for this one are still in the area.

So then avoid it.
- golfingsince

I was avoiding it. Fehr is a lesser known FA and can be had at a decent cap hit with good numbers.

Unless we have players to step into that role , you need to pick up one or two FA

60 pts last year.

Yep. Do something like Bonino(amazing contract) Hansen and 2nd for B Schenn and Umberger

If they sign Matthias/Dorsett then they'll need to move someone, not sign more.
