3 games left for Hronek to overtake Petey for the scoring 'race'.

SO chit chatting about the upcoming offseason, and had an idea..

Rutherford needs to hear this.
JR needs to go to the owners, and ask if he can purchase a couple more draft picks for the future, to speed the rebuild. Then, send a prewritten message to agents for July 1st. The message is "Vancouver is willing to overpay by 2-3 million for FA's for 1 year contracts with the intent to trade with retention to contender. Please include your 10 team NTC with contract proposal'. Sign a 6 million dollar guy for 8.5 (or whatever), with 7.5 (whatever the max is) of it being signing bonus. Receiving team gets a guy on a discounted cap space with pretty much zero cost (like actual dollars for receiving owner) attached.

I Mean, everyone pretty much knows what a player is worth in free agency, so just overpay, and make no bones about what your doing. Retain on the couple guys when we trade, and get more draft capital.
