It is frustrating from the P.O.V. now that we have no franchise player left and are going to have to rely on the UFA market (good luck with that) or a trade to get something done.
As much I'd like to think a Lecavalier will be available ... I doubt it.
It just shows that you have very little margin for error under the new cap system.
If the goal is to win a Stanley Cup ... I don't believe you can do that without a superstar player. We had an big time asset in Pronger and there was a big time player in Luongo being shopped. That's hard for me to overlook seeing the situation we find ourselves in now. The fans are supposed to get excited about signing ... Scott Hartnell (I like the kid really, but still).
At least if we had Luongo, as a fan, I could rest easy knowing we have our franchise cornerstone for next 4-5 years even if there were no playoffs this season.
