The rest were just 2 year deals for low dollars, so what's the problem.
Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch...
Del Zotta was fine for a year and ended up getting us Schenn.
Nillson was an okay backup for those dollars and brought back a pick.
And you forgot about Miller, Vrbata, Vanek... all excellent signings.
Bartkowski, Weber, Kenins, Bartkowski, Cracknell on cheap one year deals did us no harm
So what are we at now? 12 for 15?
Not many players are signed long term for the Seattle expansion draft though, cap space is not a problem, the depth players will increase in value I hedge bets next season with the young core thriving asap, so they can be moved in time.
Agreed, cap space is not a problem right now - but it will be soon. I expect Brock to get $7 million + this year, then Petey $10 million +, and Quinn likely the same.SKYO wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 1:18 pmNot many players are signed long term for the Seattle expansion draft though, cap space is not a problem, the depth players will increase in value I hedge bets next season with the young core thriving asap, so they can be moved in time.
The RFA contracts by JB have been great.
and I admit the UFA contracts haven't been stellar, but the depth at least is built up with solid pros which will help when this teams become contenders.
The worst is Eriksson, the elephant in the room, hopefully he's traded.

I had to remind you of Miller because you neglected to count him when you were keeping score above.
You're the only person at this site to ever say the Vrbata signing was a bad one.
Right, another guy you neglected to count above, you're welcome...
He's a fitness nut, but hey, you're the prophet!
Right, no one should ever sign players who play hard.
Yet Del Zotto brought back Schenn and Nilsson brought back a pick.
What a bizarre thing to say.
Look up, you already tallied Spooner/Gagner and Schaller.
Oh, so you're a prophet and a mind-reader!
This is the same guy who just said Benning should get zero credit until if-and-when the team gets results!Diehard1 wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2019 1:30 pmAgreed, cap space is not a problem right now - but it will be soon.

Well duh.
Yet it 'feels' to you that we presently have two $10M players and a $7M one...
Exactly imagine the return we could have had from them if they waived their final year here.
That is not "an issue" during a rebuild, it's a sound philosophy.
