You know the kind of player a team can have in its line-up for that amount of cap ??

Only 3 NHL players Crosby, Malkin and Ovechkin have a higher cap hit.

Are we really playing the player x + player y + player z = superstar game? Because there are plenty of teams you can do that for.

Awesome - when our youngsters are entering their primes we'll have cap space for a hired gun. For right now they're playing a role, which hopefully includes excellent leadership.

As mentioned earlier, Connolly and Lombardi are NHL caliber filler-inners, after next season they're likely gone, or staying at a discount.

It is the cost of gaining Franson in one case too.

He's not liability and does add some skill to the third line, so I don't mind his role right now.

Same with Lombardi I suppose.

basically this.

i hope he can streak a little towards the end of the season:

-big passes
-the odd goal
-defensive

His points and games played are almost identical to last season so he is living up to expectations.
