Steve Zipay at Blue Notes reports..."...the names of UFAs Michael Ryder and Brian Rolston have surfaced as proven 25-goal scorers on the wings to possibly replace Shanahan or Straka. I'd take Ryder. Change of scenery might serve him well.
Here's another name I'll toss into the mix: Ottawa LW/C Antoine Vermette, an RFA who might not be re-signed. He's 24, 6-1, 200, made $1.075 last season. Tremendous speed, quality PK."
...after two straight 30 goal 25+ assist seasons Ryder only recorded 14 goals and 17 assists last year. While Rolston put up his third straight 30+ goal season this year. I'm in for signing both over Shanahan and Straka.
...Zipay's pick Vermette recorded 24 goals and 29 assists with a +3 during the regular season. However, he recorded no points and was a -4 in the Senators first round embarrassment at the hands of the Pens.
