Also, it depends on the kind of year Carkner has and how he developes. If he can turn into a 6th D who PK's, then we'll see what happens with Lee.

Me too. And I like Picard more than Lee, for the record.
But the roster / cap crunch is on at D in OTT, big time, from here on out. I could see as many as two of Picard, Campoli, Lee, and maybe even Kuba gone by July 1, 2010 -- especially if we manage to re-sign Volchenkov. Kuba stays if Volchie leaves, I'd say; if Volchie stays, he might have to go. You need a few steady, reliable vets, after all.
You have to think Cowen is on this team next year, tho'. Hell, he was still getting his legs back and shaking off the rust this camp, and he already looked ready. That leaves you with
Phillips / Volchenkov OR Kuba
Karlsson / Cowen
3 of Campoli, Lee, Picard, Carkner
I think it will look more like this
A Trian/Phillips
Karlsson/Kuba
Lee/Cowen
Carkner
Thats just me but tons can happen over the next year obviously.
HA HA! Maybe...N4L wrote:MTL might claim him now, haha.

I can't imagine they don't care about the cap hit... so I will assume a deal is in the works.SeawaySensFan wrote:shabbs wrote:So now what? I'm still mystified at all this... especially with the additional cap hit we'll take... bah.
You have to think that the Senators don't care about the additional cap hit or they have a deal in the works.
Meh. I dunno. Something else is brewin' for sure. We save roughly 400K of his salary but we also get a 400K or so cap hit now. When Schubie was in Bingo... he had no cap hit.Phoenix30 wrote:http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=500765
