The only UFA we kept was Viktor Arvidsson. It cost us a conditional 3rd but I think his stats will get heavily padded in Edmonton.
We lost Eric Staal, Marc Staal and Ryan Lomberg but didn't shed any tears. Thanks for nothing, see ya never.
We did land some decent veteran presence in ME Vlasic, Phil Kessel and Tomas Tatar, who come in with 94, 91 and 81 for EX stats.
The goalie we signed will be forever referred to as his SIM assigned moniker, player #5679, so we can try to shed our guilt.
But overall, our story was how many players we struck out on with low ball offers:
Monahan, Karlsson, Coyle, Lowry, Foligno, Savard, Leddy, Larsson, Staal, Jensen, Dumolin, Eller, Iafallo, Wheeler, Mayfield, Hall, Couturier. I was sad to miss out on a few of those but not at the prices they were signed to.
