It seems like forwards are better the younger they are and defensemen never really go over the hill.

Good question, seems a LHD that's young will cost either way. Does Yandle take a 4 year deal or 3 ? I doubt 3 but maybe 4.

Nope, Eastern.

So it is a UFA defensman who is in the Eastern Conference that did not make the playoffs?

Edit: Never mind. You said FA or trade.

problem with any quality free agents who might be available is that they're in the latter portion of their prime which is generally in the 28-32 range...in addition they're also looking to maximize their final big-time contract with maximum dollars and the longest term with the possibility of serious decline before the end of their contract

that's why I wouldn't reach for a one dimensional d-man like yandle

He's a RHD that is the problem.

does not compute:

young ufa from non-playoff eastern conference team...haven't found one yet...

at least one that looks to be an upgrade on what they already have

does he have ryan miller connections?
- Michael Pachla

Not to my knowledge

JML is my last guess.
