Good deal on Thornton... maybe I'm crazy, but I'd rather have both Thornton and St. Louis over Hossa, who is a bit of a wild card IMO, most GMs here obviously disagree. Wild Card? You talking about the Raffi hit last playoffs? From everything I hear he is 100%.

I think it's pretty clear that 99/100 times teams will match any bid on their RFAs, especially high end ones. Can only speak for myself, but I did not for 1 second consider taking Gavin's compensation which would be two late 20s 1sts and a late 2nd. It's simply not worth it. Pretty sure most people feel the same way.
I know we were talking about decreasing compensation before, but now I'm starting to think we should talk about increasing it. The reality is, anyone that knows what they're doing would rather match and then try to get better value via trade.

I think this year more so than others has proved we have things pretty much where we want them

The extra year is a big factor in why people don't use it. I would take Sharp at 8.1 for 4 years over 5.4 for 3 years. If we changed it to a 4 year max for the resign I think you would see every team use them.

You talking about the Raffi hit last playoffs? From everything I hear he is 100%. That, and the fact he is already injury prone. He stayed healthy last season, but even Gaborik can do that occasionally. 2011/12 - 81 GP/81 points 2010/11 - 65 GP/57 points 2009/10 - 57 GP/51 points

Free agency is now over! Other than a few easily fixable mistakes I thought it went very, very smoothly! We definitely had more RFA offers on other teams players than we've seen in a long time, so that was fun to see.
Under the cap unassigned claims will be coming up next, e-mail to be sent...

Looks like some guys with cap space forgot about the first wave on unassigned claims. Only 4 claims on Matt Reid!

Very interest 1st day of Unasssigned Claims. Jets made out like Bandits getting Diaz without contest. Ray (Flyers) & Greg (Caps) also with some nice uncontested pick ups.

When does the farm open? Wanna fill my roster before Mike takes them all. Thought that was for only a week.
