I agree. Easily best free agent still available. I guess in a cap world teams would rather save the money and play one of their young guys. Maybe the teams interested in him aren't very good. Maybe they want him to try out first (he doesn't want a try out). Could be a number of reasons.
If we didnt have Ericksson and had signed Vanek maybe we would look at it.
Surprised Florida didnt bring him back, Vegas didnt sign him to flip at the deadline, or even Calgary could have used him this year. Oilers have 8 million this year and I'm sure they could have signed him for a 1yr contract
