Yes Callahan would have brought us the playoff success he brought to Tampa .

You don't actually believe that, do you? A proper rebuild is done through the draft and then addressing other needs via trade. Free agency is the last step to a rebuild in an attempt to fill a hole that may still exist somewhere.

Same here. If we are signing a player at 6m for 6 or 7 years . I want better than Callahan.

So that Callahan thing is done now, right?

Bolland apparently asking for a little under 5 mill and 7-8 years. Please stay away TM

There was only one way to rebuild, and that was with Callahan. (frank) it, were done now. Lets trade all our picks and get the old core back. Its the best we can do.

That stuff works , That has been the answer to our glue problem all along !

I'd be willing to give him 5 mil, but only for 3, maybe 4 years tops. With his current injury history, any team that signs him for longer than that is asking for trouble.

The classic sign and trade!!!

How many years and make sure there lucky years. Rebuilds are done thr. drafts and quality trades. Look at the last time we were good. Drury trade, Briere trade, Dumont trade, TC trade. Every center we had was thr. trades. Chicago was lucky they got Tows 3rd overall. The kings model is not a ton of high picks.. Detroit model is not that. Bruins model is not that. Ours is stink last year. Be worse this year. Hope by year three top picks are ready year 4 have the kids start competing.
Maybe year 5 we be good. That's not a model that's a train wreck....

No where in your post did you mention overpaying a Free Agent...hmmm

Also the Kings model has a ton of high picks either drafted or acquired via trades...

Where would signing a glorified injury prone 3rd liner for 6 years and close to 6 million fall under?
