We looked at him before he signed with Montreal, so now we blow a third rounder when we could have had him for free? Now, he works out and get's Ovie and Kuzy fired up again....
Also, Tampa outsmarted us on Bogosian. He's a right hanged Dman we could have used and wouldn't have had to sacrifice a draft pick.
Finally, I hate using these draft picks. We are an aging team that needs youth and speed and we are headed for some lousy years if we can't bring up prospects. I know, I know, the window is closing, but I'm not willing to go through a 4 to 5 year rebuild.

Montreal retained 50% of his salary, we saved there and probably couldn't have got Dillon paying the whole amount. He played well in montreal which is good to see.
Draft picks are the price you pay to get guys. We didn't give up a first. We've had a history of good drafting. Didn't give up a 1st round pick. I'd like to know any other team that's drafted as well as we have in the 1st round the past 10 years, usually a late pick and we still get a great player. Wilson 14th, Forsberg 11th, kuznetsov 25th, Carlson mid 20's, johannson mid 20's, samsonov mid 20's. Don't worry too much about us having limited picks. We've got McMicheal coming who will be good. I've seen him play in London 3 times this year.

Vrana late 1st rd as well.
