Holy Shit Ales Kotalik!

Yes! Another move I really like. We signed Ales Kotalik for $3 million a year for 3 years. Win! Kotalik is only 30, in the middle of his career, we paid the right amount for him - he's the perfect replacement for Zherdev. Actually, he might have been the best move we could possibly have made. How weird is that? Check out our theoretical top 9:

Higgins - Dubinsky - Gaborik
Avery - Drury - Kotalik
Korpikoski - Anisimov - Callahan

That is not so bad at all, it isn't!

For those of you who missed him, Kotalik has been in Buffalo. I think he even played on Drury's wing back when Drury was beating the shit out of us on the Sabres. He was traded to Edmonton at the trade deadline last season. He's 6'1", 227 lbs, and has a killer shot. He'll stand at the point and shoot the puck 476 miles an hour, Drury will stand in front of the net to make sure it deflects off of him at the right time, and Avery will get everyone else out of their way. Goal!

Oops, did I forget to include Zherdev in that top 9? No. Bye, Nik. Go find some other shit team to overpay you, like our other Nik did.
