If the price is right for RYDER, i wouldnt mind him being in a canuck uni.
He's averages 52 points per season, not bad.
VRBATA, is also another 50 points per player, if he's healthy.(i think phoenix will make a good pitch to him though)
But still, we need that PURE goal scorer, and we have 2 off Seasons (including this one) to do it...
Maybe, invest the money in a good player, and acquire the other pieces
to the puzzle, with trades. Defense for young cheap offense. Quote:

I think the surge in salaries started when JOVO got signed for 6.5 mil; not to see hes not "good" but is he 6.5mil good? I dont think so...

I think Gillis is about to find out the GM position is not as simple as it seems and why Nonis couldn't make deals in the past

The Edmonton Oilers have acquired defenceman Lubomir Visnovsky from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for forward Jarret Stoll and defenceman Matt Greene
interesting lol. They also took on Lubo's 5 year 28 million contract extension he signed last year

i'm getting kinda frustrated at whats happening...which is nothing...
as for the wce coming back..i'm all for that...it will be on AV's system because i think that should be one of the changes he will instill next season (thats why he got an extension rather being fired)

Well, okay...in theory and principle it works...  | No such limit in practice.
Remember, UFAs tend to get bid up by GMs who have excess cap room.. even more with desperate GMs. RFAs don't have that sort of leverage. If those two were UFAs, watch out.
Having said that, can anyone name me a big money UFA signing who's been worth the money? I can't think of one off the top of my head.

There hasn't been a lot that's for sure.

Rolston is a good pick up and a prefect player for an Eastern conf. team.

Typical Canucks luck. We have money now and nobody to spend it on. I hope we tank this season so we can get on the the Taveres sweepstakes.
Tampa sucked so much they had a Cup and 2 #1 1st overall picks. This hurts.

But, i think we can assume, all these signins would be short term.. no idea how they can keep everyone, considering Malone is going to get paid 8 and 7 mil for next 2 seasons and 3.33 aftewards.

If Tampa signs a real defenseman or two and Mike Smith turns out to be awesome, they'd be a realistic contender to at least win a round or two in the playoffs. Lecavalier + St. Louis + Prospal + Stamkos + Malone + Rolston...not a bad lineup. Not quite Detroit or Pittsburgh but a very decent lineup there.
Well, they're not longer a joke.
