Great stuff by detroit!

Since I took over, I decided I was going to add pieces at UFA. Came at a big price but we snagged the two best rated pieces in UFA.
This was the plan all along and are glad both the offers we made were the chosen offers by the players.

Looking around the league, we realised the cost of acquiring a starting goalie. When we found one in the open market, we had to bite.
We also needed a top 4 Dman and a top 6 forward. After crunching some numbers, we though we would not be able to acquire a top 4 dman and a forward with the remaining 9 Million. Hence we decided to instead throw all our money at a number 1 defenceman.

We are proud to welcome new additions - Streit and Roloson.
