Think of it this way:

I'm paying 1 million dollar per year for Cheechoo to go away and for someone else to take his spot. Don't think about Emery's buyout or Alfie's. Alfie's is pure logistics anyway, Emery is the past. The present presents us with a pickle: how to shed Cheechoo's 3 million? The only way I can see is shipping him to Edmonton and adding the 2nd round pick to the proposed Cogliano deal.

I doubt anyone wants to do that. So the second option is to buy him out. Sucks, because he's okay, but it's manageable to purge ourselves IMO.

Or we can just waive him once and for all. Bingo needs some offensive help.

EDIT: I meant he's an okay GUY, not that he's okay. He's pretty Diddling far from being okay.

There was a rumour last year that the NYI were seeking Cheechoo's services. I am sure that his exploits this year have sobered up any potential suitors.

Boing! A 7th rounder will do it.

No...Diddle that. We'll pay a 7th rounder for you to take him.

Buy out Cheechoo and bring someone up from Bingo at $500K. Total spent ovr two seasons is $3M -- the same as would be spent keeping Cheechoo here. Would a league-minimum call up from the AHL do any better or any worse that Cheechoo? Hard to say, but the money would be a wash in terms of total outlay, and would give us an extra $1.5M to work with next season. Of course the season after that, if we simply replaced Cheechoo with a league-minimum callup, we would be saving an extra $1M in cap room.

So, I reverse my earlier position on buying him out. Bring up someone cheap, or even rotate 2-3 players until you find one that fits.

That would spell the end of Volchenkov for sure though. I don't know if that's a good thing.

Not many points though I'm guessing...we need a D-Man that will put up some points.

Karlsson can do that if Clouston stops giving his PP minutes to forwards.

Speaking of the Sens coach, did anyone see his comment in today's citizen about having "no one else" when asked about whether Karlsson and Regin should be in the NHL right now and not in the A? That speaks volumes Imo about the relationship between Lee and Clouston.

"General manager Bryan Murray is convinced that Karlsson's going to be a
star, but the first half of the season hasn't provided a lot of
evidence."

And that speaks volume IMO about the stupidity of Ottawa media Be the Sens coach - Page 6 159628
