We would have to overpay by a significant amount, which is why I feel this is not the best window for us to target free agents.
But it looks like we are probably going to anyway.
We are likely going to pick-up a couple of good prospects this year, but they will probably be a few seasons from making an impact, so I see no value is trading Iginla/Bouwmeester, and then replacing them right away with free agents before the new core has matured. I am not optimisitc that the results would be better than what we have have the past 3 seasons.
