from Phil Coffey of NHL.com,
The Pittsburgh Penguins, Dallas Stars and San Jose Sharks opted to go for it now, swinging deals to pick up three big-time players who hit the market in Marian Hossa, Brad Richards and Brian Campbell.
Other clubs took a more low-key approach. The Philadelphia Flyers didn’t want to sacrifice a young player like Jeff Carter for a short-term run. Ditto the Detroit Red Wings, who augmented a strong lineup with veteran defenseman Brad Stuart. Ditto the New Jersey Devils, who kept their core intact while adding a dependable defenseman in Bryce Salvador, but not the big scorer some had been wanting.
So, who’s right? Who is wrong? The answer will not be known in the short term, that’s for sure.
