I know that as a Bruins fan i scoffed at the 3.5M cap hit for Ryder even after the huge performance he had in the 2011 postseason (Especially against his former team and rival Habs). But boy did he ever make the most of his opportunity in Dallas, happy to see him have such a great year.

I definitely agree with your picks Ryan, if you did add a 4th or you wanted to go for players even cheaper, I would’ve added Kyle Wellwood with his 47 points for a whopping $700k

Same could be said about any goalie that ran into the Kings in the postseason

Cole definitely had a strong season. The main reason Ryder was picked over him was because Cole came with a bigger cap hit after signing a four-year/$18 million deal.

What about Eric Cole? He had as good a year as Ryder on a weaker team.

Meh. Elliot was brutal in the playoffs.
