Expensive, but I think the Jackets still have to overpay to get anyone to play for them.
CR or Hawks fans, how's he looked the past season? He seems like the perfect 3rd line center in a Hitchcock system.

Can't speak for how he was with the Hawks, but Sami was off this past season, had nagging injuries that largely derailed the season. From what I saw when I was right, though, he still seems plenty capable of doing what he has been doing, playing a tough, physical third line game, winning face offs and being an underrated Selke contender. Not going to get you more than 20 points though, usually, in a full season. Glue guy, good for team chemistry and in the playoffs.
Think Holmstrom, except he's not a jerk who runs over goaltenders in the crease.
