Big-Time Available Assets Any Staal- I am considering offers on all these guys; they have flooded in since I moved out Ovechkin, and I am least likely to move Marc. Roberto Luongo - Need 1 good prospect/pick and the rest of the deal can be picks/ prospects... I can also take a deadweight contract at any position as well. Evgeni Malkin - Still a top 10 asset and exploding with Jordan Staal alongside him... Dan Girardi - Enjoying a breakout season for the NYR as their team leader in ice-time... Has supplanted Marc Staal as the NYR #1 PP dman and is also sharing top-line PK duties with M. Staal. Martin Havlat - PPG in NHL and a great asset for his rates and salary. Mikko Koivu - A top-30 NHL player and a great contract for a long time. (5 years 3.8 mil) Drew Stafford - Finally fulfilling his promise as a top line guy in Buffalo alongside Vanek and Roy... Great contract as well (5 yrs 2.8 mil)... Poile, Holmgren, Burke, and R. Wilson can't all be wrong :) ... Bryan Little - A guy who has a 30+ G season in the NHL... not AHL... not WHL, QJMHL, or OHL (which he had 4 seasons in 4 at 30+ goals)
Other Available Assets Kyle Brodziak - Top PKer for a top NHL PK unit. Finally getting a chance and shining alongside Havlat the last 25 games. Travis Moen - Very, very good rates for a defensive 3rd line winger on any team. Mtl in NHL is best PK team thanks in large part to this guy. Tough as nails too. Chris Higgins - Playing a tonne of minutes in Fla this season. Great rates in the BRHL2 for this year, and hes already surpassed his last NHL year's point totals!! Will re-rate nicely. Zach Stortini - Needs a change of scenery as he won't be playing since we've acquired Laperierre. Ian White - A great 2nd unit PP guy in the NHL and BRHL2 with a great contract... The perfect 3rd unit dman on any strong contender. Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers - Open to offers on this guy. Prospects/picks only.
Veteran Available Assets Andy Sutton/Brendan Witt - Will take a prospect or pick to get one of these excellent defensive shut-down types for your playoff chances. V. Kozlov/I. Laperierre - Also available for a pick/prospect. Laperierre is a terrific 3rd line grinder/pest/ and with an 84 DF rating!! is an asset on any teams PK as well. Kozlov would also be a great addition to any playoff team's 2nd or 3rd lines (currently on my 2nd line) and his contract conveniently comes off the books after this season as well. Young guys just getting their NHL shot Philippe Dupuis - Colorado 4th line, getting his fair share of points too. Guillaume Desbiens - Vancouver 4th line
