You just may be right, I think I misjudged a bit on that one. I thought Poti would have garnered a alot of interest since he was the only D left above 61OV at a 66OV to boot. I have always liked his ability to play shutdown and powerplay, not to mention a +24 and a +9 in just 6 games in the playoffs for the Caps. Anyway I would take him anyday at 6.5 rather than Rozsival at 7.5 which is what I had last year. So you are right about the ouch but it won't look too terrible if he makes it to a 67 or 68 before he goes downhill. He as got a pretty bad year 2 years ago still bringing his ratings down. I certainly don't think it is the worst signing of the UFA batch period but I also didn't plan on getting most of my offers accepted so I am wondering how much I did overpay. On the other hand, all and all I signed 7 UFA's for a total of over 8 MIL under the grid so I am fairly satisfied.
