I disagree tbh, we have been rumored to be interested in him dating back to when the Wings were shopping him. Now with Hextall gone though I think that ship has sailed.

I think Bert is my first choice as well. Also worth considering Bunting and Compher, IMO.
Killorn and MoJo are both on the older side, and we need to get younger. I'd take either of them if they're available, but I'd focus a younger player over both.

That was my thinking mostly too. Bunting though I think will be this years big overpay in free agency, regardless of where he winds up. Killer and MoJo I think would fit in great.
