Yeah really. They're already experiencing the worst, how can you get any Lowe-er?
Fixed.

Anyone else think that this team has the character to take on Semin, if the price was right? Could be a great buy low and sell high opportunity. Maybe GlenX and 2015 2nd. That contract is brutal though.
Hudler/Monahan/Semin
Gaudreau/Granlund/Colborne
Glencross and a 2nd is buying low?
Considering Glencross is a UFA...yes
Guess it depends on if you believe Semin is washed up or not. Yes, he's extremely unmotivated on the Canes but could a change put him back in the 60-70 point range?

The canes will try and sell him in that manner and if any GM buys that and pays for it, they should be fired

**** no. I want nothing to do with Semin.
I would, however, target Justin Williams if he makes it to UFA.
How much do you think for Williams as a FA? He's mainly a #2 /#3 RW with intangibles. I'd think we'd have to overpay a bit.
3 years 18m ?
year 1:8m
year 2:5m
year 3:5m
I'd try for 4 years, 20 million. He'd be an upgrade on our top 6 for now, and he'd still be an awesome bottom 6 guy to have down the road, especially with his playoff experience. I'd even look at 5 years 25 mil.

The two guys I want to throw our money at in FA are Marc Staal (6'4 - 207lbs) and Mikael Boedker (6'0 - 211lbs).
Staal would only be 28 and instantly become our #3D with Wideman. This would allow Russell to bring mobility to our bottom pairing and hopefully keep the puck in the offensive zone more.
Boedker would only be 25! Reminds me of a more physical Hudler. (This would be assuming we don't resign GlenX or if he's moved to RW). I also think Sven won't be a Flame next year, so this would open up a spot for a proven/young LW like Boedker.
Boedker is an RFA, is he not? Not worth losing the picks in an offer sheet.
