So lets say Volchie doesn't sign.... then what?

Players like Kelly, Fisher, Neil, Phillips, Spezza and Alfredsson are fixtures here.

Because he's in that group, I doubt Kelly (or Fisher, for that matter) gets dealt even if it means making room for, or getting a better player.

Redden was a fixture here, too. Just sayin'

P.S. Clutch, did you change something? When I reply to a post (quote) the message box is way at the bottom of the page -- I actually have to scroll down *after* clicking "Quote" in order to type my reply. The top of the page holds the previous 5 posts, which used to be below the reply box.

Yes he was. And look how that turned out.

I PMd Clutch but no reply yet. I looked around the admin panels and found nothing. But I *did* make a small tweak. Now when you go to the next page in a thread, the last 3 posts from the previous page are displayed at the top. Let me know if you think this is useful. It give a little context and may help when you're posting replies in a fast-filling thread.

Same for me on the scrolling down thing when quoting.

disagree. if the right deal came along fisher, kelly, and spezza could all be traded. Neil too, unlikely, but I don't consider Neil a fixture; he's more a fan favourite than a fixture.

Fan favourite = Fixture

That's the way it is in Ottawa.

and that's why Kelly isn't a fixture

Spezza too apparently.

Media darlings are too.

Obviously not the right lineups but still shows the right players at the right prices.

So you moved Kuba to downgrade to Seidenberg?

If we get Seidenberg and can keep Sutton and Cullen, you wouldn't do it?

Phillips Karlsson
Seidenberg Sutton
Cowen Carkner

Looks pretty solid and intimidating to me...

I can't see Carkner being on the team next season.

Why?

700 grand
physical presence
moves the puck

I would rather him than campoli

He's a liability defensively and has only stayed on the team because of his fighting.

someone has to do it, and at 700k and averaging 16 minutes a game he is useful-im sure Neil appreciates the help.
