Puck Daddy’s Top 10 Free-Agent Pivots

From Greg Wyshynski at Puck Daddy:
The best centers available at the Frenzy this week sadly aren’t unrestricted free agents. They have names like Lecavalier and Gomez and Marleau. They cost a lot of money, and will cost talent going back the other way. But comparing them to most of the free-agent centers on the UFA market is like comparing the grosses for the new “Transformers” explosion-gasm with those for the new Larry-David-as-Woody-Allen flick. In the sense that there is no comparison.
The problem with this summer’s crop of pivots isn’t just its depth; it’s the details. Joe Sakic(notes) proved he had something left in the tank last season, though not much; but it’s the Colorado Avalanche or daily rounds of golf and afternoon naps for him.

About Goal Line Report
The Goal Line Report will focus on all things Eastern Conference. Do I have a bias towards the Eastern Conference just because I am a New Yorker? No, but it certainly does make things easier! I’ll make my opinions known on Eastern Conference news bits (as often as I can), big games, hot and cold players, trades (I don’t make things up) and anything and everything else related to the Eastern Conference that I think is important for hockey fans to know. I will, in every sense of the word, be the beast of the East while also making sure to drop my thoughts on other hockey news items.
