Re: 2011 Free Agents
The 2011-12 team looks like this:
Boyes - McDonald - Backes
Perron - Berglund - Oshie
Steen - McClement - (empty)
(empty) - (empty) - (empty)
Johnson - Polak
Pietrangelo - Jackman
(empty) - (empty)
Halak
(empty)
It'll take $20-30M to re-sign the players in bold (~$45M payroll), with Cole, Junland, Sonne, McRae, Ponich, Taresenko, and Schwartz in the pipeline. We haven't signed anyone this offseason, but we give the 2010-11 team prime playing time. Then, in 2011-12, we fill those (empty) spots with Cole, Junland, Sonne, McRae, Taresenko, Schwartz, and Allen. 17 of 20 players (85%) would be Blues' draft picks. (Halak, Steen, McDonald)

Re: 2011 Free Agents
I would rather have the Payne Trayne throw some form of D'Bris on the ice, like a cone, or cotton candy. That air-sugar could slow some skates down.glen a richter wrote:We're not in agreement that ' needs to be retained?

What makes you think we'll be trying to win next year either? Sure can't be current results...

Re: 2011 Free Agents
We need one more solid player to round out the top 3 lines, then the merry-go-round fourth line. Can anyone on this team be that player, or would it be Taresenko?DaDitka wrote:Updated!Winning Unlimited wrote:The 2011-12 team looks like this:
