Iced Prizes

Sean Avery (Wing - New York Rangers)
(Dallas Stars: 4 years, $15.5 million)
(Despite character issues, Avery is a premiere addition. He can score. He is aggressive. He should compliment Mike Modano.)

Marian Hossa (Wing - Pittsburgh Penguins)
(Detroit Red Wings: 1 year, $7.45 million)
(In 2007-2008, Detroit won the Stanley Cup championship. They could have relaxed. Instead, they acquired Hossa. He will enhance their potency. He cements their favored status.)

Brian Rolston (Wing - Minnesota Wild)
(New Jersey Devils: 4 years, $20.25 million)
(Following a premature exodus, Minnesota warranted improvement. Rolston is a glitzy addition. He dramatically improves their scoring. He elevates their challenger potential.)

Ryan Malone (Wing - Pittsburgh Penguins)
(Tampa Bay Lightning: 7 years, $31.5 million)
(Pittsburgh’s exodus continues. Yes, they retained Marc Andre-Fleury and Evgeni Malkin. However, Malone is a pivotal defection. He is a dynamic scorer. He will exponentially improve Tampa Bay.)
