Then why did Francis select Giordano? At 38 do you think he is still in his prime? Tarasenko is only 29. Doctor said he is feeling great. Carey Price just led his team to the Stanley Cup final. He looked like a Vezina trophy candidate. Why did they not select those 2 but picked a 38 year old Giordano who will probably retire in a year? They have over $30 million in cap space. Unless they plan to sign Ovechkin, Hamilton and Landeskog in free agency I highly doubt they use up most of that money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We come before Arizona in the picking order, so we could reclaim him (if not picked by any of the teams below us - selection opportunities go by inverse points totals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they were trying to be competitive, obtaining Larsson and Eberle would make sense. However, they also picked up a lot of questionable players, and it's pretty clear thus far that it wasn't about the money. Was Lind really the best choice for Seattle, roster wise? I think they took a lot of younger guys with term with affordable contracts with an eye on taking advantage of the flat cap. It’s a question of cost vs value. I’ll reserve judgement on the team until I see the final form. For me psssing on guys like Price, Landeskog and Tarsasenko makes total sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed those shenanigans about "is he hurt or isn't he hurt" reports on Price? Price has what? Five years left on his contract?
