I don't mind Kuba. He does seem well-liked by coaches and teammates. I'm not totally against keeping Kuba at the same money because that means there is another plan to get the cap relief/prospects the team needs.



My gut says that Murray has offered a 1-year deal, with the plan of Karllson to replace him in 2010-2011.

That has to be the most backhanded compliment I've heard in a long time.

We don't need players that we "don't mind". We need players that excite us (in hockey terms...not in Alyssa Milano, Carrie Underwood, etc terms)

Any word on what Kuba is looking for?

Pretty much. I'd say there is a 99.9% chance that Kuba gets dealt. Especially after saying he would waive the NTC if they can't get a deal done.

Hopefully we can get a 1st rounder for him :D

Exactly.

wish we could have done the same with with Redden, but damn him, he just didn't like us that much, hope he rots in the big apple.
