They have two different numbers on the same darn page. One in the headline, another in the body.

Any interest in Tarasenko on a short term deal? I was surprised to read he actually had 23 goals 50+ points in 76 games for Ottawa/Florida. What impressed me about him in the playoffs was his improved defense.

I would have much preferred Duclair over Noesen. I'm very skeptical of Cotter.
But I'm generally ok with the defense additions. Goaltending should be better.
So far I'm only neutral on the off-season. We didn't really address what I think the biggest gap, the entire bottom 6, sufficiently. And the biggest difference next year is going to be the health of Jack, Dougie, Nico, Meier, Siegs, etc. and not the signings that were made today, and not Markstrom. At least IMO.

Fitz isn't done yet .. he'll add a vet on a prove it type contract, or make a deal for another top 6 F.

No money
Palat and Mercer will be in the top-6, and itll likely be Palat's best season here
Adding two bottom-6 players doesnt help the bottom-6?

Duclait got a 4 year deal? WUT?
That's gotta be the longest contract he's ever gotten. Seems like he's been getting 1 and 2 year deals his entire career. Or maybe it just feels like that because he keeps ending up on a different team every 1-2 years.
Still, I'm pretty sure he's never gotten a 4 year deal.

I'm very skeptical of Cotter and not a big fan of Noesen. I don't think the bottom 6 will be a ton different from an impact standpoint. But we will see I guess.

Wonder if we take a chance on Roslovic or Sprong
This is silly. It'll be noticeably better.

It won't be until sometime in August if I had to guess. At the earliest. Maybe even September.
The last few guys in this position went quite a while into the offseason before they were signed by us. Bratt is probably the most recent in 2021. Severson's last RFA signing came late in the 2017 offseason, Henrique's came later in the 2013 offseason I think.
The only one to miss any of camp was Bratt in 2021, but he did sign quite a few days before the first game of the season, though he couldn't come over for 2 weeks (or whatever it was) because of the then-covid international quarantine protocols.

As of now I think both the top 6 and bottom 6 are considerably worse than they were going into last season

Plenty money. $6.75 right now. Moving on from Bastian gives them an additional 1.35. So 8.1m available. Capfriendly is also currently counting DeSimone and Kovacevik as both on the roster; so free up an additional .775. Call it ~8.9m available.
If Mercer is going to cost ~4m on a short term bridge deal, that's ~5ish they can easily use on another top-6 winger.
I'd still like 1 more forward, but we don't have much money to work with. I'd prefer trading for Colton, but there's a few names out there I wouldn't mind for the bottom 6. I'd love Henrique, but I think he's out of our price range. I actually wouldn't mind Wennberg in the 3M range for a 3C.

Mike Hardman is not a real person. This player seriously cannot exist.
Sounds like a fake satirical stage name of the lead singer of a hardcore band that has a satirical, mockery tough guy image.
