I don't think 2.25 million/year for Roberts and Nieuwendyk is all that much. Roberts and Nieuwendyk were Toronto's best playoff players and Nieuwendyk at least has a few years left. Roberts might not finish two years but he's worth the risk IMO. The pair is a hell of a lot better than the Sedin twins anyway, who Vancouverites seem to think are a great duo.
