Can't really see anyone fitting into our plans besides possibly re-signing Backstrom.
I would take Scuderi on a 2 year deal if they could get him for a decent price, but looking at that terrible list of UFA dmen, He's going to get alot more than he should.

Absolutely not. He's not the player he was two years ago...and he was only average then! Let Backstrom walk.
I'd be more comfortable with two rookies.
You have to remember a completely different team has played in front of Backstrom for... how many years now?
Nobody. We might even buyout Heatley. Parise and Suter were the two pieces we needed.
Get a team together, then work out plans to re-sign them in phases.
Only problem is free agency can be expensive. And I'm guessing he stays with the Ducks.Scores goals, plays gritty, goes in the corners, agitates, protects, plants in front of the net, plays D.
