Hard Times For NHL Free Agents?

Up front, how about Sergei Fedorov feathering passes to Teemu Selanne? But according to Eric Duhatschek of theglobeandmail.com, teams are not buying that kind of lineup anymore. General managers around the NHL swear that their wild, free-spending days are over. They're preaching fiscal prudence and promising to drive a hard bargain in contract negotiations. We shall see.
