Too bad that some of the guys that played multiple positions last disk are only single position guys, but we can't always get what we want. Very true, and even better that he can play LW.

A lot of depth (perhaps too much) at C and LW for the defending champs. Must be nice to have a big stud like Malkin come in and probably have a huge impact in year one.

Grand Prairie seems intent on stocking up for the next disk, but for RHL17 this deal is a big, big loss for them. Legwand is going to have to play like a near $3M player over the remainder of the deal (however long that may be) to make up for the amount by which he's overpaid on this disk. Baffin Isle would be best to allocate their resources elsewhere, even if that wasn't the original plan. You went too far to try to resign Legwand, and it’s a good thing you didn’t get him.

But the cost increase of keeping him as described above, would clearly signal to the fans that a strong effort was at least made to keep him in Rover silks. Legwand sure must love playing in cold climates... Very sad news to hear the face of the franchise is no longer a part of the plans.

I thought about it when I made the $5.2M bid on Pronger, saying to myself 'geez, you're making the second largest bid in the history of the league.' That was before I was outbid for his services - twice. I thought he wanted to come back to Edmonton and play, but I think everyone in hockey knows that Mr.Pronger never wants to return to Edmonton...

Pronger, after this contract, will certainly be the most generously compensated player in RHL history, if he wasn't already. Edmonton has sure been active to this point.
