Players like Lidstrom will probably (when the smoke clears) be able to make around 6-8 million max. Second tier superstars like Kariya would be making closer to 5 million. That would be right up our alley. The market will be inundated with talent. It will truly be a buyers market. We can take advantage of this.
My biggest fear is that this will ruin all our chemistry. We are a hardworking team but invariably it seems that the more talent you have, the less effort you give. I hope we don't become that way.
