Well, I hope they shell some cap. Mcarthur, Paille, and Goose are all done after this season. As well as Pratt UFA, and Mike Ryan.
Next year we have Pominville, and Stafford that will need to be resigned.
Long contracts for Paille, mcarthur, and stafford would be very nice. To snag them before they get really good.
If we lose campbell we have paetsch to move up and actually play.
Sure there is a drop off in the D line. But its not that much. Also I would like to see Max gone, after his wrist injury he hasn’t been the same Kalinin can go to.
Free up cap with Max and Kalinin ~4-5mil free trade campbell for a Jokinen, or Marleau (I think he is looking for a retarded amount of money though) so Jokinen would be super.
This way we weaken a little in the D zone, but have a solid goal scorer to help Vanek out by drawing some attention from him. So he can have an open crease sometimes to make plays.
