    Just because we made it to the finals (for the first time in a generation) doesn't mean you shouldn't look to improve. Stastny would be our best center and would have only cost money. I would have much rather have Stastny @ 7M than Brassard at what will probably be $4M+.

    This is a great signing for STL because they're paying only for his prime years, so it's always a good deal when you're paying for future performance rather than past performance as is usually the case with UFA.

    I can sort of agree with that. Vanek was a dog in the playoffs but 3yrs is not a bad deal for a 30yo, is right handed and has good history scoring wise.

    I don't love Vanek and rather have Stastny for 4 years.

    Who plays on the 3rd line I wonder. I assume Glass and Moore make up 2/3 of the 4th line. Maybe a kid fills the last spot (Fast or Lindberg). Miller maybe on the 3rd line? I rather him on the wing though to start. Maybe we get a C.

    That's a soft 3rd line and only 1 of them can score. Not good.

    That 3rd line scoring wise is a huge dropoff from last year if true

    We're in trouble if that's our third line. Cool with 1 of Lindberg or Miller, but starting the season with both in the top 9 isnt gonna cut it

    Right, which means we cannot be done. We need another top 9 forward, hopefully a C.
