JT, Stastny and Perron all would've been great adds.
Yeah I agree, if any of them wanted to come here. Based on where they ended up it looks like Colorado wasn't their first choice (if it was even a choice to begin with). Stastny wanted to play in Vegas. Perron wanted to go back to the Blues. Tavares wanted to play for Toronto. If any of them really wanted to be here (like Calvert has said he did), then they'd be here.
My issue is that people act like just because someone is a free agent, they automatically are willing to sign here, and then when they sign elsewhere, these same people blame Sakic for not signing them. That's not the way it works. If, for example, Hayes doesn't sign here this offseason, there are going to be people here who get angry at Sakic because in their minds Sakic is the reason he didn't sign here just like Sakic is the reason we didn't sign Stastny or other free agents besides Cole & Calvert.
