Winchester? He wont hit 10 goals. Smith? Maybe soon, but not now. Who else? Kelly is a must in Ottawa and takes up very little of the cap.

Is that a joke?
If we do intend on re-signing Cullen, then I agree, Kelly is expendable.

Gonchar would agree to a 3yr, $15 mil ext to stay in Pitt. Pens are stuck on 2 yrs max. Open market he could get $6 schmil per year.
I knew it would take 5+ to get Gonchar.

Either way, I doubt we're gonna win the day on this one. Sound like he wants a 5 million X 4 year package. And damn he's good, so he might actually get it.
Would you be willing to go 3+ years for Gonchar ?SeawaySensFan wrote:SpezDispenser wrote:Maybe 4.5, maybe. Hard to say if that would work.

Gonchar on a 3 year deal would accept 5 million dollars from Pittsburgh, likely a little higher elsewhere.
On a 4 year deal, I think he might accept 4.5, but at that point it's anyone's guess.
I wouldn't go 3 years regardless of caphit. I would however see if I could offer 2 x 6M. If I was GM that 3rd year would definitely be a deal breaker.SeawaySensFan wrote:RobbyJ wrote:Would you be willing to go 3+ years for Gonchar ?SeawaySensFan wrote:SpezDispenser wrote:Maybe 4.5, maybe.

Depends on the Cap Hit.
