2014 Overspend in Free Agency Thread

[mooger_35]

Don't see an official thread for tomorrow's spending spree... so here we go.

I don't even want to see the Canucks go after anyone. It seems all free agency does is show us who will be bought out in 2-3 years time.

Maybe the Oilers will finally land Thomas Vanek tomorrow?

I would like to see the Flyers go after small moves, like Nikolai Kulemin, Mike Kostka and Al Montoya - nothing big

I heard the Pens were really big on Kulemin.

Don't drink the Kostka Kool-Aid.

Now that Jamie McBain is gone from the Sabres, maybe I'll take him over Mike Kostka

McBain couldn't even get a qualifying offer from the worst team in hockey. That says something.

If you need a good reason you could also watch the video of him destroying his own goaltenders knee.

What type of money is Matt Moulson going to get and is he a real deal top line guy?

Too much and no.

At least, not on a good team. He'd be a borderline 2nd liner with the likes of Chicago or LA.

Kulemin seems to be the Pens big target...unfortunately it's the D I'm worried about.

I still think the Pens need a new #1 Goalie. The Hawks were pretty much an even draw vs the Kings , Kings had a better goalie. You need that one top 10 goalie to get er done in June.

Hockey in June? What is this sorcery...

I waved at you this morning on my way into town but I guess you didn't see me.

Hawks won a Cup with Corey Crawford and shut down D. I'd love a better goalie, but MAF was far from the problem this postseason. I'd consider a move for a guy like Reimer just because it'd save money and be a similar talent.

I was that way last year but this year Im intrigued on Linden and Bennings plan. I anxiously await to see their moves and pass pure and utter judgement after tomorrow

Intrigued is a good word for me too. Obviously my team is nowhere near competitive right now, but they've got to spend an additional $20.5M just to hit the floor.

And my curious little mind is trying to figure out who exactly they're going to overpay to do it.

What do Chris Butler and Lee Majors have in common? Starting tomorrow, they'll both be $6 million men.

Seriously...take Scuderi. I'll throw in some moose tracks ice cream. At least two 1.75pts.

Goalie isn't what beat the Hawks.

LA having 4 legitimate centers is what beat the Hawks.
