Holland "Not Optimistic" about re-signing Hossa

[LeftWinger 5,135]

1. I would let Hudler go and pick up draft picks.

2. Go after Moen - if we can get him at $1.25M (not sure about it) - who can play on 3rd line with Helm, bring GRIT and PK or BLAIR BETTS

3. Sign Leino $950,000 seems fair

4. Trade Lebda or Meech and sign cheap 4th liner = Orr $650.00

Pavel Datsyuk $6,700,000 - Henrik Zetterberg $6,083,333 - Tomas Holmstrom $2,250,000

Johan Franzen $3,954,545 - Valtteri Filppula $3,000,000 - Daniel Cleary $2,800,000

Darren Helm $599,444 - Travis Moen $1,250,000 - Leino $950,000

Kris Draper $1,583,333 - Kirk Maltby $883,333 - Colton Orr $650,000

Nicklas Lidstrom $7,450,000 - Brian Rafalaski $6,000,000

Brad Stuart $3,750,000 - Niklas Kronwall $3,000,000

Andreas Lilja $1,250,000 - Jonathan Ericsson $900,000

Derek Meech $483,333

Chris Osgood $1,416,666

Jimmy Howard $716,666

UPGRADE PK + TOUGHNESS - SKILLS (SCORING) = TOTAL 55,670,653

I like it! With $1.1 million left over for call ups! Or if you ae skeptical about Moen @ $1.25, offer him $1.5million still leaves room for Abby if needed...

What kind of money will Mike Knuble, Steve Sullivan, and Chad Larose be wanting tomorrow?

Non-existent right now.

No linky, but he heard it somewhere, where I wonder, or did his 10 year old kid tell him?
