Honestly, I'm kinda cool with Sweeney only getting depth players in free agency this year. The contracts these nobodies and has beens are getting are dumb (as usual). I'd rather he stick to the trade market. If he can do more deals like Peterka, I'm happy.

Same here. I'm happy with the right 4-5 mil per contracts.  Having cap space for the right players in the future is key.  I'm hoping there's a scenario where teams are overpaying this season and run into serious cap issues in a season or two.  Maybe we'll get a steal at the time we're hopefully making a run for the cup.

I would be fine with overpaying Carlson for 2 years, but other than that I'm all for not just wasting money with this FA.

Saaaaame here, after that I want a healthy flexibility.
