seriously i think there's a few prospects and players that could be gone before the draft. we could use another couple of 2nd rounders... lee, campoli, o'brien, zubov (if it can be done). even cody bass, i like him but i'm not sure he's got much of a shot at making the team anymore....

What? 870,00? Where did you hear that?

LOVED him up in Ottawa, he will be a better NHLer then an AHLer. Sucks for him because if he didnt get injured he would be an Ottawa Senator right now, in that time though, Smith has defently taken his place.

Well said though, I agree with all of this. 875K though, man, thats a bigger hit then I thought, but oh well.

Sometimes you feel like cutting them a break because they're 'nice' or they add depth, but the truth of the matter is, there's has to be something about them that makes them NHLers, some facet of their game that you're interested in developing. Picard was always like that to me, I thought he blew from almost the word go, he seemed to progress a bit, then digressed to the point where we could all see the writing on the wall - for the last half a year or more - that he doesn't do anything well enough to be in the NHL IMO. He's fringe, depth, but he'll never 'make it'.

I feel the same way about Brian Lee. I hope I'm wrong.

seriously me too, i think he almost made the team. i'm not familiar with smith but judjing on the fact he hasn't been called up i think it's fair to assume there isn't a spot for him. i think there could be on another team. the lack of NHL experience will only get us a 4rth rounder TOPS.

Im of the opinion you probably could have signed him to a one way contract for a little less because he would have signed anything saying "one way". But again, it's pennies in the grand sceme of things.
