Pretty impressive day. Feels very different than any other UFA day I remember. Like others have said, feels weird to be an "old team". I was shocked when I heard that this year. Even more pronounced now. Oh well - not like they're 50. And the top guys are still right in their prime, so I'm not too bothered by it.
That forward group looks positively deadly. Goaltending - would have preferred a 1B type, but Skinner has shown he can be good at times, so might be enough. My biggest concern with the roster at the moment though is still what it was all year - D. Ekholm and Bouchard are awesome. Broberg is a player and shouldn't cost a fortune, but 99% certain it'll just be a bridge deal. No way his agent lets him sign long term. That leaves the rest:
Nurse - I see no way out of that contract, so we just need to hope and pray he gets back to being at least OK. Maybe we magically find someone to play with him and he finds his form again. One can only hope.
Kulak - I don't hate the player. Is $2.75m too much for him? I don't think he hurts us too much, but I wonder if that money could get someone better?
Ceci - well he has to go.
As for cap overrage: I'll go Google it - but in the meantime, what are the penalties for being over the cap?
