from John Glennon of the Tennessean,
One of the reasons Poile said he has to be careful about the deals he makes this offseason is that there may well be some more long-term deals down the line.
“We have other players that are due new contracts that we’d certainly like to do something with, whether it be a goaltender or someone like (defenseman) Dan Hamhuis,’’ Poile said. “It’s not just about next year and signing Steve Sullivan. It’s about the future and what we can or should be able to spend.’‘
If the Preds wind up not re-signing Sullivan, they’ll certainly have to look at a trade or the free-agent market in order to boost the team’s offense.
It would be hard to imagine the Preds having any chance at signing big-money players like Marian Gaborik, Marian Hossa, Martin Havlat, Alexei Kovalev or Alex Tanguay.
Some players that might be able to add offense with less of a price tag include: the New York Rangers’ Nik Antropov, Calgary’s Mike Cammalleri, Carolina’s Erik Cole, Pittsburgh’s Ruslan Fedotenko, New Jersey’s Brian Gionta, Edmonton’s Ales Kotalik and Detroit’s Mikael Samuelsson.

This article is absurd….. They are crying over Joel Ward wanting 1.5 mill per, and then they are discussing the players listed above… They announced a week ago that they don’t expect any of their free agents to be resigned. All they do is release articles like this because they are afraid that people will drop season tickets if it doesnt appear they are trying to sign someone.
