I would be more worried about signing Betts than worrying about Dubi, we still need to kill penalties. And number 1 ???? I can't see Dubi being a number 1 center EVER, a career 3rd liner really !! I like the guy, but I would lose him and try and get a #2 guy, use Anisimov on 1st line and move Dru to 3rd line. Anisimov will die on the 3rd line. He would be a real nice fit with Gab and either Cally or Avery. And what makes everyone think Gilroy is a shoe in? The guy has zero experience...... he excelled against college kids, I see him being lucky to make it to Hartford. Just my 2 pennies worth ! When did Dubi become so important to the team?

I truly believe that the GMs attempt, although not explicitly or through overt collusion, to keep salaries reasonable. I expect that most GMs would have balked at paying a restricted free agent like Zherdev $3.9mn when equivalent unrestricted free agents were on the market for the same price. The GMs want to keep the system intact, ie where restricted free agents don't make as much as unrestricted free agents (one of the tenets of the lockout). In my view, this made Zherdev unsignable and untradeable. Also contributing where the 1 year deal and the fact that most GMs probably guessed that Sather would walk away anyway. If you thought Zherdev was good and he put up numbers, you'd be hamstrung in a year negotiating with him. Letting him get to free agency enables GMs to negotiate a lower salary and more years.

He refused to give Nylander 4 mil, who was like bread and butter with Jagr and instead he went out and gave Gomez 7 mil! Then, he refused to give Jagr what was it 6 or 7 mil and instead he went out and gave Redden 8 mil! Now we see the same thing happened.. He refused to give Z 3.9 and instead went out and got Kotalik for 3 mil who is not even half the player the Z is. This isnt over YET! Let’s see who else Sather will overpay for. “It was really hard to look the other way on some contracts given out on this team and then play hardball with a pretty fair amount/ per talent for Zherdev.”

Also- anyone here a little upset that we had to give friggen Ales Kotalik 3 years, 3 million AND a no trade clause to get him here? are you kidding me? somerset- if you go by draft status then should have resigned Zherdev, he was the 4th overall pick!
