Continue to diversify and adding players I like and fit what I am trying to build as I get more grinder stats with Carlo/Wagner and Krejci good bet for 60+ points over full season. Johnsson could be interesting in NJ but was expandable for me at that salary and getting the money paid on guys coming my way evens salary this year. The 1 guy I might regret moving is Liljegren. He was available but do think the upside is pretty high, just probably still a few years away from putting it together and I'm building to make a run now. Getting Carlo who is still only 23 made it easier and I see some long term upside in Berglund as well.

I know it does not say in the RFA rules, but should we have a limit to how many players can be taken from a single team per year?

Real life NHL you never see offer sheets and I've never been in a league that has this feature, so maybe there will not be much activity, but I can see a situation where a team like the Kings in 2-3 years might have 4+ higher end players get nabbed.  Draft picks are all well and good, but then they will just be in a similar situation a few years after that.

Interesting point, however, with RFA team always has option to match the winning offer so limiting the number seems a little messy. I don't see how to fairly say you can bid on 4 RFA from 1 team but player 5 is untouchable. Having a lot of RFAs same year I guess is part of game so will simply lead to some tough choices.

I'm willing to discuss this further but not sure anything other than allowing all RFA (regardless of number per a team) to enter RFA really makes sense.
