I'd love to see Tavares sign here. That's the dream...and we don't exactly have a history of "winning" on July 1st, so it's hard to imagine that happening now (...is Tavares going to the world championships? C'mon Bill! Convince him!)...barring that absolute dream coming true, I'm hoping we see two things this summer:
1. Big trade at the draft involving a defenceman going out and a forward coming in
and
2. Evander Kane is signed on July 1st
I don't want anyone else in free agency. Kane is a top 6 forward, top line forward, entering his prime years. Sign high-end players during free agency - because then at least you're overpaying a good player. No more signing depth players in free agency. They always get overpaid and end up being utterly useless at some point during the contract. If you sign top talent, you get overpaid top talent...but at least you still got top talent.
