I agree with you on the signings dump. Some will work and some won't. That is the one plus to us not having cap space, no stupid signings like we usually make.
But it is hard to argue our division isn't very good, and the teams are getting better. You may not like Philly and the Isles, but both are better. CBJ with Horton is better. 4 years from now sure terrible sigining maybe, but now they are better. Detroit is always good. Pitt is still very good of course. I really like their Scuderi signing.
Tough spot IMO.
