Confirmed with Link: Erik Gustafsson (2 yrs x $2m)

I've been saying that about our scouts since before Holland left.

They better shape up before next season, alot of cap coming off the book with Maata, Husso, Kane and Petry leaving.

It's a real opportunity to make the team better.

Having a 7D making $2M wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't for the fact that Holl is making $3.4M, so now we have $5.4M worth of D benchwarmers for 2 years plus Husso's $4.75M, and Copp at $5.6M for 3 more years. These bad signing are really starting to add up.

What's clearly obvious is that the team needs new pro scouts.

Holl was in the lineup (and actually played pretty well).

We want guys on ELCs to push their way into the lineup, and that's going to push guys on more expensive contracts out. It's just the nature of it. While Johansson's contract looks nicer in the pressbox than Gustafsson's, it's better for our future if Johansson grabs that opportunity.
