I agree about Asham. His playoffs were great for a player of his calibre.

I pass on Mooore as well. Mr. M has a great idea there. I just wonder if Asham will last that long though. These guys will be willing to sign one year deals for cheap pretty soon anyway. It’s all about getting a contract or nothing after a while. That window is closing and they know it.

I like Belanger, but only because he knows how to take a face off and I also agree that the Caps will bring him back. They need that faceoff abiliity for sure.

Madden is getting slow. Very slow. I’d say he signs a one year on a contender if he has his choice. He would be a great guy to have here for mentoring our kids on the dot though. Fantastic for that and likely worth it.

dawgtoy: No Dominic Moore on your list, are you not a fan.

Overlooked a couple of guys... Moore and Metropolit could be considerations too. I overlooked Metropolit more for his size. Can't remember why I passed on Moore. Maybe it was a size thing again, as he isn't the biggest guy either. But they could be good considerations too. Both are good on the dot too, if I recall. Also, I like Mr. M's thouhgts... if these guys won't come cheap, wait until the season draws closer, and they'll be more anxious to sign for cheaper. I would imagine the Oilers will send out some invites again this year to a couple of different players. Not sure that they've shown interest in anyone on the list though, aside from Asham.

gr8one: John Madden has my vote too, and I agree about Dom Moore, i think he’d be my 2nd choice.

Yah Moore and Metropolit (both UFA's) were a big part of the Habs. big push last year. Just not sure where to put them? Neither are very big physicaly but have big hearts for sure.

dawgtoy: I’d place Johnson higher based on his ability to take face-offs and I’m a sucker for skaters. Given he can play wing or center, that’s a plus as well.

Problem with Johnson is that he has more courage than brains. He blocks shots with any part of his body he can weather its his face, hands or whatever. Because of this he is constantly breaking something and is on the I.R. Asham would be my choice here. We could use his grit.
