Nashville have fallen apart of late. Too bad they are still going to make the play offs. Forsberg only has 3 points in his last 11 games and has been a -8 in that time. In that time, Johnny has 7. Whisper it quietly, but Johnny is only 6 points back from him. Could make things interesting in the Calder race if that disparity continues and Johnny overtakes Forsberg in scoring.
Lecavalier 4.5 cap hit, with 3 more years at that cap hit after this season.
46 gp 7 goals 10 assists, 17 points -9, averaging 12;55 In ice per game
Umberger, 4.6 cap hit, with 2 more years at that cap it after this season.
65 gp, 9 goals 6 assists, 15 points -9 13;55 average ice this season.
Andrew MacDonald 5.0 cap hit, with 4 more years after this (at least)
48 gp, 2 goals, 9 assists, 11 points -6 19:51 in ice per game.
Those contracts will hamstring whatever team has them. They have to get out from under those... we may be in a prime position to take advantage of an impatient owner and falling cap.
A couple of teams could be had at the draft this year, Boston is the most interesting to me with the amount of FA's they'll have a no money to sign them. Dougie Hamilton as a defenseman has more points than the $6m man Milan Lucic and even crushes the $7m man Zdeno Chara in PPG.
I have a feeling he's not going to sign a deal for less than $5m
