Stanley Cup finalist Derek Brassard will be released to FA this Summer. :BOS-NHL: cant afford his asking price for a contract extension.

[PigsRule]

16. :FLO: Pascal Dupuis, $1.8m (2013-2014) - B/O   ... already in the FA pool
22. :FLO: Josh Harding, $1.6m (2011-2014) ... not sure, he's asking for a ton!
35. :FLO: Carl Hagelin, $0.2m (2012-2014)  ... likely staying put in :FLO: :thumbsup:
47. :FLO: Dan Girardi, $3.3m (2011-2014)  ... might be too pricey to resign!

Reports out of the nation's capital are hinting that the Capitals have not given up on Barkov yet.....

A Barkov FA bidding war would be entertaining.

A Barkov FA bidding war would be entertaining.

In about 3 years it is quite possible or at least that was my hope when I took him #2 last year. I learned my lesson from handing out 3 year rookie deals to rookies, they are not worth that money initially, about 90% of the time.
