Its kind of hard for them to do anything until they find out whats happening with that 7.5 million dollar cap hit of Heatleys.

Dany really wants to screw us over, doesn't he? :^^^^:

What's he going to do next, kidnap Alfredsson?

Havlat won't come back, I'm sure he wants a ton of money anyway. Koivu would be a nice addition to a team that is close to contending - that's not us. Tanguay I think is legitimate at 4M but he probably wants more.

Ya, I'm sure someone will over pay Havlat for one healthy season but I think Koivu would fit well on our second line. Remember, he was way over used in Montreal. I would prefer him over Tanguay...but would for sure take Alex at 4.25...no more.

Why sign someone on their last legs when we are at least a couple years away from contention.

Who in Bingo do you envision stepping up to play 2nd line center minutes??? That's second PP and possibly PK as well...a lot of minutes to fill for someone that hasn't played in the NHL yet.
