What if BG took the $2 or $3 mil he will likely offer Mark Streit, and
tack on a couple of Mils... and try to land Campbell. He is a more
legitimate top 4 d-man than Streit ever would or will be. Nothing
against MS... I would just prefer to see Campbell.

What kind of money IS Campbell worth? $4 or $5 per year over 4 or 5
years?

I agree with Steve that Campbell is probably going to land more like
$6-7M. Maybe for 5-6 years.

I don't think he's _that_ good.

I also don't think that a mostly-offense-only puck mover is our
primary need. Of course, adding talent can never hurt. Campbell
would improve our team. But... at that cost I think there are better
options for us. In fact, Streit at $3M or whatever (more than I'd pay
him) is a better fallback option than trying to enter the Campbell
sweepstakes IMHO.

l8r,
Gerry

He's gonna get $6m or $7m per year, I think. His value is pretty high right
now....

And I'd love to have him here.

I'd sooner have Streit than Campbell. Campbell is a more gifted
player but Streit has more smarts and he is more competitive.

With Markov on the left point on the power play we need a shot on the
right point more than another puck handler.

I don't think we need another small defenseman.

And it is very hard to measure the value of a 4th string winger who
can replace an injured D-man in the middle of a game.

Streit is pretty old but he has been on a steep learning curve in his
3 years in the league. I'd like to see if he gets even better.

Choosing between Streit at $4 million per year and Campbell at $6
million per year for me is a no-brainer. It's Streit hands down.
