you know, I, I'm intrigued by guys like Michael Bunting and Ilya Mikheyev, two former Leafs, because I think they are decent role players.
But the three that I sort of looked at, Paul Cotter, who was not qualified by the Devils, who, not last season, but the previous season scored 16 goals.
Bobby Brink, who was traded to Minnesota, who I think is 24 years old and was not qualified by the Wild, and, and, and former Nashville Predator and, Seattle Kraken, Eeli Tolvanen, who's a UFA at age 27.
Potentially, these guys could get paid really well because they're under 30, because they, you know, some of them have speed or some of them can score a goal.
I mean, they're not, I don't think they're top six guys, but I think effectively middle six or bottom six, they can pr- they can provide, depth to a team, and I think these guys will be targets, on, on Wednesday
