Pittsburgh studs are better than ours man...Why? Penguins just won paying more than that to malkin Crosby and kessel. Hawks pay an obsurd amount to their studs.
What would you ratherather have,
Fowler
Depres
Stoner
Cheap 1m forward
Or
A cheap 1m 7d
Krejci
Maybe it is a bad idea I just don't see why. It seems to me that the total salaries would be similar. You buy out Bieksa next year and let Montour join the d so you save money there.
Also you're leaving out the fact we also have Perry for $8.6M
