I can't help but wonder if D. Boyle and Richards are going to sign below market with Tampa.
 
Look at the hype Stralman is getting on this board.. and you wonder why he's leaving... He's going to cash in from someone, and I'm going to predict he doesn't live up to it.. quote it.
 
Think Yzerman made a bad trade again. A producing center (albeit with no defensive game) good for 40ish points at 3.2mil is worth more than a 6th. If he didnt retain any salary, it'd be a good move.

Sam Gagner moves from Oilers to Lightning to Coyotes in two trades: Sam Gagner moves from Edmonton Oilers to
 
Definitely up there overall

Maybe not top-3 but I'd be hard pressed to think of many that are better

I have a really hard time believing that since it's never been proven Stralman can handle the minutes/competition Hedman can.
 
Worst case scenario: Stralman, Pouliot, and Boyle all get blown away with term deals.

Replace Stralman with Mike Weaver, who was the best Habs dmen in the postseason defensively.
Replace Boyle with Mike Santorelli or Ryan Carter
Replace Pouliot with Michalek or David Booth. Booth can fly and is great on the cycle.

As for replacing Richards, Im thinking Bolland. Proven winner. Health issues a concern.

Boyle is the guy you dont want to lose, but Moore is a good fill in. The chemistry between Hagelin and Boyle on the PK make them one of the league's best. Hate to see him go.
 
Boyle is the guy you dont want to lose
I think he's actually the easiest guy to lose. Plenty of good PKers on the Rangers. Plus, you shouldn't pay the money he'll demand for a 4th liner in a capped era. There are better ways to spend money.

Unfortunately with the $69 M cap I think Boyle, Stralman and Pouliot are all goners - time will tell
