Betting it comes in under 7 too. Good signing by Minny.

Wild are going to be contenders next year

I think they're going to sign Brodeur

This is somewhat problematic. Leaves Colorado, TB, and Vancouver in the Iginla mix.

Come on Avs.

Wild look pretty decent. Good move depending on price

My guess is 6.5m, equaling 19.5m.

This seems okay to me. Slightly high on the dollars but the term is right, so it's not a coup or anything but it's fair.

That is a good deal.

Central division is tough. Added Vanek, Spezza, Hemsky, Neal, Statsny (switched teams), etc

Chicago needs to react IMO

So how much money did Vanek cost himself by not taking the Islanders contract?
