Crosby's numbers will plummet!

Justin Schultz re-signs, 3 yrs 16.5M, seems a tad high but oh well

I never thought I'd say this, but Schultz > Shattenkirk.

I have to agree, Shattenkirk to me is very overrated.

Sorry if Mattola'ing

Radulov seems to be the last big domino to fall. I'm assuming once he's picked up Jagr will get signed shortly after. There has to be a contender willing to add Jagr.

Kings signed Christian Frolin
That is the difference between missing the playoff last year and the cup this year

Flames sign Foo and Kings sign Folin - Def Leppard chimes in.

He's so very slow. His hands are gold but name one contender that plays a sluggish game.

You know who the Habs need? A big centreman like Leon Draisaitl.

On the one hand, Dallas could be very, very good.

On the other, if this all blows up in their face could anyone else see Dallas moving in the next 5 years? Going 15 years without any tangible success would be a pretty serious obstacle to remaining financially viable.

Also, he would likely spend most of his time at the Playground Poker club.

I agree, but if he's willing to accept a depth role, limited minutes and essentially be a PP specialist I think he's a viable option (assuming he comes cheap). As a setup man on the PP he can still be a weapon.
