regarding your poll...you need stop gap players that you haven't had to use a draft pick on and who are inexpensive to keep you going. Doug had great success with Donskoii and Melker and Marcus Sorensen going this route. Joel Kellman fit in nicely in a 3rd /4th line Center position and Anti Suomella may come around.
Doing this allows you to draft players who hopefully will fill in Top 6 roles as draft picks are currency that you need to use wisely. It sounds like this may be another Alexander True type player...

Agreed, I don't think I've ever been disappointed that a team signed a player out of Europe, as it's essentially a free asset. Thanks for reading!
