Left over UFAs that can improve our team?

[abdew29]

Heres my list in order of preference

-Radim Vrabata
-Steve Ott
-David Legwand
-Devin Setogouchi
-Dustin Penner
-Danny Heatley
-Jay McClement
-Joni Pitkanen

IMO Steve Ott would be an excellent option to play 3C/4C or even Winger on Line 3. Vrabata would be no brainer and would solidify top 6

Do not want Ott, Heatley, Pitkanen, or Setoguchi (unless super cheap). Winnik isn't on your list. Penner I would take for cheap as well

 

[abdew29]

I kind of have the feeling that we need to replace the loss of Kulemin; we need a strong forechecker and PKer. Also we need to replace McClement with someone with a bit more offensive prowess. Ott fits the bill

 

[Peasy]

Winnik.

 

[jmart21]

Strictly from a possession POV, and potential cheap options:

-Ray Whitney
-David Booth
-Legwand
-Fiddler
-Penner

 

[abdew29]

Fiddler just resigned with Dallas

Id still take a flyer out on Peter Mueller for that 2nd line RW role.

Ott had 23 points getting lots of minutes on the Sabres and 3rd line minutes with the Blues. He is not an offensive player

 

[Cor]

We should bring back Nik Antropov to play 3C

 

[The Hockey Life]

Winnik.

 

[Your old Jofa helmet]

What if we try Booth if he is very cheap? He can't be worse than most of our wingers. Or can he?

 

[Ace88*]

I want Ott for the 3rd line.

 

[Deuce Awesome]

Leave the scrap heap alone. Nothing let worth grabbing unless its another late summer signing for cheap like Raymond last year.

 

[Rare Jewel]

McBain could be a option as RHD PP guy.

 

[Pholus]

Vrabata would be no brainer and would solidify top 6

I like Vrbata too, but he has been pretty bad when playing anywhere that isn't Phoenix.

 

[Amadeus]

Joni Pitkanen would be a solid buy low candidate.

If he's healthy that is.

Other than that, I'm good with David Legwand. He's a great skater and a very responsible forward. I'm happy going into the season with him C'ing the third line.

 

[Pholus]

McBain could be a option as RHD PP guy.

Pretty sure Nonis mentioned that Robidas can play on 2nd PP, already have Gardiner, Rielly and Phaneuf so it's not like we need another guy for the PP (though I wouldn't be upset if we signed a forward who can play the point like Abbott does/did for the Marlies)

He would be, But I read something over the week end about how he can't even put a skate on yet.

 

[Gamble9]

Ott on the cheap please the guy is a mega pest and on our 4th line could be a big asset as a pker energy leader but it would have to be cheap and for short term

 

[highslot]

did kulemin get signed? also would like winnik.

 

[James Reimer]

Definitely wouldnt mind Ott if we could get him for cheap

Ott-Komarov-Clarkson would be the best case scenario. We need a high energy line that can leave it all on the ice and drive other teams nuts

You DO NOT want peter mueller on this team or anywhere near it. Just an absurd suggestion.

I love the look of that line.

And why is that?
