Ok, so prospect camp/qualifying offers Monday. Boqvist out. I expect 4-5 not qualified, and Ruff/Beckman UFA with another AHL D who does play right side. Darche was consistent with his words it's not going to be an active summer, and did not like UFA class. I think Lee returns. The scoring is the problem. The payroll as usual is at the cap ceiling, but far too often the scoring seems worse then vs when the team was at the cap floor long ago.

Term and years good enough, fair deal on both sides.

#NYC #NYI #isles Honestly thought DeAngelo was getting
4.5m total for his contract. Going from 1.75m to 4.5m is far too much for someone who had one goal in 41 games, with too many turnovers on D.

#NYC #NYI #isles Good re-signing for DeAngelo, right years/term. RD market in UFA did not look very good. This again gives them Pulock, DeAngelo, Mayfield at RD and no one else. They need a real RD in their system. Plugging in journeyman like Boqvist has not worked out.
