Steve Zipay at Blue Notes wonders about a few soon-to-be free agents currently playing in the Stanley Cup Finals...
"Having seen unrestricted free agents Ryan Malone, Brooks Orpik and Brad Stuart in the post-season, has their value to the Rangers increased ---or fallen?
In the open market, Malone should easily double his $1.45m annual salary, as will Orpik ($1.075m); Is Stuart worth his $3.5M a season? (Update: One astute fan bet me lunch offline that Malone will collect $4 mil plus).
If the Rangers resign Rozsival and spend $3 million for Orpik, who should their other D pickup be? Hainsey? Mara? Commodore? Mezei? Meszaros ($984,000)? and see how Potter fares in camp?"
...while I like Orpik, not sure I'd spend $3 million on him. We could definately get Hainsey from Columbus for a lot cheaper. $3 million is a lot for a physical defenseman.
...Zipay brings up Corey Potter from the Wolfpack, but doesn't mention team Captain and MVP Hutchinson. I'd rather see Hutchinson get a chance than Potter.
...and no way should we pay Malone $4 million a year.
