A low ball on a guy like Backstrom might have worked 2 years ago but I think the bidding strategy has changed since the buyout rule change and teams can now throw lots of money at players close to the end of their careers knowing they won't get penalized when the player retires. I miss the old way tbh but the game evolves and GMs adapt.
We are really happy to have landed Toews as he fits into our 3rd line perfectly.
Ehlers 74 - Lindholm 78 - Svech 74
Schenn 74- Scheifele 76 - Oshie 72
Kapanen 71 - Toews 72 - Dach 71
Comtois 68 - Luostairnen 67 - Peterka 67
I missed out on 2 low ball offers but that was to be expected.
