NHL Free Agent Frenzy 2013 - Melnyk's Budget Edition

Working off Bickells deal (again) plus a premium for being a UFA, plus a premium for keeping him away from rivals, you're looking at about 6 schmill. I don't mind the price but I'm not crazy about doing it for more than 4 years...

I am hoping he doesn't want to play in a circus like Toronto, not that we are much better here.

Oh no you didn't! We're much better here.

Does Scuderi play the right side, because if he does and you can add him and Clarkson, you're HELL to play against.

Clarkson in Toronto would be a disaster if they didn't make the playoffs, he wouldn't be able to avoid the media. Guys are more likely to succeed in Ottawa for a lot of reasons namely the media isn't there like it is in Toronto nor the pressure.

Ottawa. Better coach, better goaltending, better, depth, better D, better everything at this point. #1 center who happens to be Clarkson close friend (not that it ever matters). Ottawa has a shot for sure even if it means over paying a little for the RIGHT player.

Won't happen. If Murray signs Clarkson look for some guy named Blum to come in.

Tyler Seguin for Loui Eriksson. BAAAMMM

Firing the "Blum Blast" from the point for years to come in Ottawa.

Fark.

You got to hand it to the Mayor, he doesn't Diddle around.

Kovalev was our last big FA signing and he got Dung on left and right by the media.

Diddle off...no way.

Holy Dung....that could be a major piece for Boston...

“@DarrenDreger: Huge trade in the works. Boston and Dallas close on a deal sending Tyler Seguin to Stars for Loui Eriksson. Other parts involved as well.”

That's a big time trade for Boston and Dallas gets a potential franchise center. That's a great hockey deal for both sides.

This has nothing to do with THE FRENZY.

We're not winning the division anytime soon :lol

It has everything to do with Melnyk's budget edition though  

One thing's for sure, Dallas gives away their top players like potatoes.

Take the potato discussion away from this FRENZY.

@SunGarrioch: Mr Melnyk has given Murray green light to sign Alfredsson and free agents. #Sens

Agents with an S.
Can we stop crying wolf about Melnyks budget? All this was from a speculation from scalan.... Totally media driven
