Dan Cleary re-signing still possible?

Nope, he never played center when healthy. I think he did play center a bit in that first season when he was injured, but at no point last year did he center a line.

It's too bad for Weiss that he had the injury he did. Skating seemed to set up the whole rest of his game, and after that injury he lost a step. He scored 25 points in 50 games last year in large part because he sees the ice well and is smart enough to know where to go to get scoring opportunities. But speed is what would take a smart veteran with good playmaking ability from a 25-30 point guy to the 60 point guy he used to be, and unfortunately for him he lost it.

Yeah, No takers for Zidlicky, Gustavesson, Weiss, Franson, Stempniak. Not saying the first 3 would any great pickup, but I feel like all those guys should be able to find a spot. Seems like a weird offseason. Maybe other GMs have taken up Holland's tiring kicking methods.

I keep seeing Franson to Buffalo rumors.

I'm also a little shocked that zidlicky hasn't signed a one year deal somewhere, there were a few rumors about him at the beginning of free agency, but its calmed down quite a bit since then.

I can't see anyone taking a chance on Gustavsson, unless they are in a tough spot and he'll sign for cheap. The guy had the potential to be a solid starting goalie in the NHL, but injuries have plagued him all through his career. Never really had a chance to establish himself. Wish things would have worked out better for him in Detroit.

Yeah, saw some Zidlicky to islanders rumours

I also read Franson to Boston, but that would make brain hurt after the Hamilton and Boychuck trades. Buffalo makes some sense.
