Free Agent Frenzy: Swirlonimoes Abound!

No, I am saying because the GM says they are going to be hard working doesn't mean they are going to grind out every single goal and point.  Yah, it could very well be a year where they win and lose games 2-1, 3-2 all year long but saying the team will be hard working isn't exactly a insult towards everyone.  How many nights last year and even in the years where they made they playoffs did we say "wow, any effort tonight would have been nice"? 

Team needs to work hard and gain an identity before anything else can be built.

C'mon BM! Make us happy today, pull that trigger!

Any morning rumblings?

I don't think effort has been the issue for the past couple of years. I like what I've seen under P-Mac, and I think getting Spezza out will actually kick it up a notch for us. All I'm concerned about is our ability to augment (and retain) our young core with more talent by spending. I think everyone shares the same concern.

Locking up everyone in the core is 100% the key.  Turris and Karlsson are already locked up... Lehner, Ryan, MacArthur need to be locked up too.  If that happens this summer I will be one happy fan.

Any scuttlebutt on any of those fronts?

According to Dreger, the Leafs are one of the teams interested in Legwand. Teams are waiting to hear back from him.

Of course they are.

How about locking up one of Cowen and Wiercioch? I don't think either of them would be considered core but I'd still hate to lose both.

Sens have no interest in Legwand
