Looking at that list of available centers, Hextall should at least explore the market for Filppula. You might be able to get more now than at the deadline.
When Gagner is 10th and MDZ is 16th, pickings are slim.
Weal is down low enough to think any bidding war will be more of a skirmish.
There's enough goalies out there that they should have no problem landing one at a decent price.
If we ate half of MacDonald's salary, where would he be on this list?
Hopefully Hexy at least kicks the tires on Shattenkirk and Alzner til we find out the price...
Maybe we'll be surprised

We're trying to get more young Dmen on the roster, not add more vets to block them.
I really hope Hextall stays away from any UFAs not named Weal.
We have enough fringe veterans.
I am curious to see how much Alzner gets and which team makes that horrible mistake.
Guessing MDZ is gonna end up with a decent deal. 4 yrs at 3-4 per year. Quite a few teams looking for LHD
I'll pass on all except Weal.
Signing Weal and adding a goalie through free agency or trade is all I would really want.
I doubt it. He's one of those guys who more than likely has a bad rep around the league with NHL people. He'll probably get a smaller prove it contract again.
If I was a betting man I would put money on a guy like Girardi getting a better contract than him. Not that I agree with that but I think that will happen knowing NHL people.
We have about 9 defensemen better than him already.
