Fehr was a UFA.
We have a ton of centers, don't be deceived
Ovechkin-Laich-Ward
Backstrom-Ribeiro-Fehr
Wolski-Johansson-Beagle
Chimera-Perreault-Hendricks
That's actually not bad. I really like that but I would put Chimera at #2RW and Ward at #4LW and Fehr at #3LW and Wolski at #1RW. Chimera scored 20 goals last year and Fehr scored 2 goals. Who knows how many goals Chimera would put up on a line with Backstrom and Ribeiro.
After the changes imo:
Ovechkin-Laich-Wolski
Backstrom-Ribeiro-Chimera
Fehr-Johansson-Beagle
Ward-Perreault-Hendricks
Obviously this will never happen because Backstrom and Ovechkin on the same line is just too much of a threat to split up.

Wow anything without Backstrom at center is non sense IMO.
He's a top 5 center in the league. Use him at center.
a player that is not qualified, sits on the free agent market, and is signed at or barely above the league minimum is a dumpster dive.

Backstroke is most effective at center... Why is everyone getting a boner for putting him at the wing?? Dumb dumb dumb.

Its pretty good but Ribeiro was explicit about having a boner for playing with a right handed sniper.
Maybe

Wolski Perreault Fehr
Hendricks Beagle Brouwer

Laich Green (remember Laich is uber versatile and has not looked out of place playing D, lots of NHL forwards make the switch and are better for it, Burns and Byfuglien for instance. He might be that elusive #3 shutdown D we're looking for).
Hamrlik Orlov
That's exactly what the rest of the league is gonna expect. Throw em a curveball.
So kind of like Sykora last year for the Devils then...?
Nice to know you've got an in with all the GMs in the league in confirming no one wanted Fehr.
He's 9 months removed from making 2.2 million. He's 27, and you can't know for sure whether any other teams offered him a deal regardless of salary.

He wasn't wanted in the summer because he just had a horrible year and no one knew if he could play after all his injuries. Fehr's stint in Finland at least shows that he's past his injuries to some extent, which was the #1 show stopper for him.
No one wanted Giguere except Colorado too after he crapped the bed in Toronto playing injured. When they got him he healed and was lights out for them.
