We struck out here as I figured if I didnt get these guys for a bargain it was just as well to use kids in the lineup. Looks like now Clowe and Klesla and a couple kids will be brought up from the farm.
Jackets added 4 players from this batch that will serve nicely as added depth. We were hoping to land a couple more forwards so we will be looking to add via trade now.
Selanne is showing up as 3.75m on the portal. Not the 3m he signed for.
Oilers struck out huge at forward on the first two batches. Overpaid for pretty much everyone (dont think we lost a bid) and took a risk on Selanne. Had the cap space to do so.
^The biggest deterrent of the grids is the 1 way nature of all the contracts. Teams can overspend on UFA bids knowing that if the player diminishes they can get out of it by waiving the player to the AHL and releasing at that lower cap hit.
