    I wanted them to make it. But the loss of Drury and Briere seemed too much for them to overcome. It was pretty demoralizing back then - not a good way to start the season.
    ...and how do you think the players on the team react when they see this happening?? Instead of being close and adding a few cogs to get better (which is what we try to do in business) they decided it was time to rebuild (i.e., go on the cheap). What does that tell the players on other teams who will become free agents. They opened up a wonderful can of worms...the taste will be bad - for a long time.

    Which can be fixed by opening the wallet for Pominville and Miller.

    This team will have a hard time getting other FA's here since they still have there own players to resign. After Miller and Pominville, people like Gaustad and Paille are coming up in the next couple of seasons.

      which is scary because as salaries escalate this FO will pull back and not be willing to pay up. Let's face it. The only reason they paid Vanek that kind of money was because they lost CD and DB. They had no intentions of offering him a contract any where in that neighborhood...remember how livid Quinn was at the press conference?
