Juice at $4.5 is a fair deal for everyone. I thought it would be slightly less like $4.25 but $4.5 is great.

LA is scary now. Kopitar + Richards is probably as good as Henrik + Kesler as 1-2 centers. All around good team...should be enough to challenge for the division lead at least, especially after Doughty is signed.

Versteeg is interesting but can't we get a guy that's consistent and not just "Oh, he has potential."?

Stastny is a good player but no way he's worth $6.6m to the Canucks. He's worth $6.6m to the Avs as he's one of their best players but here, he'd be second line.

Brad Richards means we say bye to Ehrhoff and possibly Bieksa and Salo. No way we'd fit him under the cap at what he's asking...especially to play 2nd line?!

What we need is someone in the $4m range...a playmaking winger like Martin St. Louis (obviously NOT MSL...just an example) to play with Kesler. Kesler strikes me as more of a finisher than setup man at this point so playmaking winger would fit like MSL does with Stamkos. People forget that Stamkos is a center...
