There are very few if any teams in the NHL that believe the path to winning is through Free Agency.
Just texted him and he called me an idiot.... He is right , cause he said it was Winnipeg that doesnt have a FA on the team.... is this right? (not sure why i had nashville on the brain)
Rangers seem to think so.
Habs too, they are just never able to grab any ones of worth.
Hence "very few teams" think the path to the Cup is through Free Agency.
Because "technically correct" is the best kind of correct: none of the Leafs acquired through free agency were cases of "re-signing our own guys".eh.
if we're talking about re-signing our own guys and cheapo bottom roster pickups, then no team has no free agents.
Habs only have Alzner I think
Well Hemsky too if he counts.
habs give up second rounder for third liners and THEN sign them for big money
