If they have say 10m after Richards leaves.http://www.capgeek.com/free-agents/?year_id=2014&team_id=-1&position_id=-1&fa_type_id=2 Out of the forwards I'd go after any of Vrbata, Steen and Moulson. At Center maybe Bolland since Stasny will be too $$. On D it's a weak group but if DZ and Girardi are gone maybe one of Hainsey, Niskanen or Pitkanen if healthy. You figure they'll need 5 new forwards and maybe 2 are rookies like Lindberg, Kristo or Fast. Maybe Allen/McIlrath fill one D spot. Then again we're assuming GS makes the right moves and not just the first name he sees or is leftover in August.
Before this season i would have liked Steen, but now that he's putting up a year way out of his norm he will get vastly overpaid b/c some GM will think he's reached "the next level" when in reality this year will be a clear outlier in his career.
Depends if Mr.Sather got rid of all the draft picks. This is no powerhouse team. Putrid performance....you really think 2 or 3 players will help. Hah. How about the 3 over-hyped players.
Kreider is still growing so they need another established scorer to take the pressure off Nash defensively. Yes, 2 or 3 good forwards would help alot when you have Pouliot and MZA playing the top 6. They need a #1C and a dman who can move a little on the PP.
