To find the Northwest Passage

Maybe a good move, but expensive.
Pronger will likely be their only star player given that he's getting paid $7.2 million. A decent goalie will cost the oilers another $5 million. Three mid-ranked forwards will cost about $12 million. So that leaves about $14 million to pay for the 18 other players.
Toronto is screwed. It has $10 million left and needs seven more players.
Vancouver will likely lose Naslund.
The salary cap is nuts.

I wouldn't worry too much about the Flyers. They're looking strong, but yeah, Markov is a good D.
Canuck fans should be happy. Turns out all the rumours of Naslund leaving are false.
Iginla stays with Calgary. Picking up Amonte might take some of the pressure off of Iginla.

Pronger is a franchise player, remember. Plus, all Lowe is looking for now is a solid centre, which, admittedly, will be very hard to find now that Demitra is gone.
The Oil aren't looking for a goalie, they're quite comfy putting the weight on Conklin (who is only getting better) with Markkannen as insurance.
And even if we do try and pick up another middling forward or two, I doubt they will cost 4 mil each, considering the price Amonte went for.
And for all the whiners:

Oilers just got Peca from the Isles for Mike York. I do like York a lot, but I can't find much else to complain about picking up a very talented center who also happened to be the captain of his team.
In other news: Forsberg JUST signed with Philly! They are now OVER the cap, which means they'll need to make a few trades under pressure... We'll see who can take advantage of this...
