hey guys, thought it would be fun to go over some of the offseason signings and see which ones have been working out, and which have been big mistakes.
Not looking for contraversy here, so simply comment on your own signings!
Ill go first
Nik Lidstrom 1 yr $13M Very happy, started off with mediocre numbers...turns out it was Raycrofts fault not his..haha...since Kipper has been my #1 goalie, Lidstrom has done great..hes currently the league's #1 scoring Dman!!!...hes getting 24mins per game.
Jozef Stumple 1yr $6M somewhat dissapointed with him...i expected him to be my #2Cman and produce offensively.....he didnt do well in preseason and first 10 games...ever since he has been assigned to the 3rd line...that being said, he is on my PK1 (ranked #8) so i found a way to use him....hes getting 18mins per game.
Pascal Rheaume 1yr $450k I would say Im happy with him....18GP only a -1...not bad for a 59ov...the 0.7minutes per game helps..
Darren McCarthy 1yr 450k same as Rheaume...8mins per game..only a -3 so far....i expected worse!
Mark Recchi - 1 year at 7 million - Just to fill a hole on my first line, Recchi has started to find his groove now. With three points in his last game he's now averaging a point per game, second on team in goals with 8, and third in team scoring with 19. Considering that my team is arguably the surprise of the season thus far, he's been a part of that success.
Dwayne Roloson - Quickly dealt him and his exorbitant salary in a deal to net me Dany Sabourin (which is what I really wanted all along was to only have to give up money to get a backup goalie)
Considering MA Fleury's struggles in NHL, and the fact that Sabourin has played great for my team when he's been in net in BRHL2, and I am very, very happy with what I did with my UFA signing.

Get ahold of me soon, or my players will already be dealt!
Cory Stillman - 3 years @ 3.6M + bonus --- I don't think that I could be happier right now. 26 points in 19 games in the NHL, he should be a cheap top-line winger for me next year.
Keith Carney - 2 years @ 2.5M + bonus --- My team stinks and he is only a -2, so I am pretty happy. Plus, I am barely above the floor, and was even closer when the season started, so I really needed to sign him.
Petr Bondra - 1 year @ $1,000,000 --- Second on my team in scoring with 11 points in 19 games. Pretty decent bargain right now.
