You know who's available for pretty cheap and needs a career rejuvenation?

$6M/year isn't cheap Smile

but yeah I was thinking about that as well.

Just what we need, another short forward, we'd be becoming the Habs.

Pageau and Conacher (Alfie doesn't count) are the only players under 6'0 on the team. And they play pretty hard.

Cammalleri would play with 2 big dudes and he will receive nice passes on the PP. Doesn't even have to work that hard. Just get open for a one timer and he's pretty good at that.

Cammaleri - Spezza - Michalek
Greening - Turris - Alfredsson
Pageau - Zibanejad - Silfvergerg
Condra - Smith - Neil
Conacher

Looks pretty good to me

I really like Cammalleri, but I don't know what's going on with him lately. He had that great post-season run with the Habs, and then things went to Dung for him. It might be worth a shot if we don't really give up anything to get him.

He needs to be motivated and I don't know who would be in Calgary. I mean, even Alfie looked like Dung during a lot of games under Hartsburg

When he is on though, he's lethal.

Yeah Cammy's an option. Lots of goals with Spezza.

What happened to him this year? I mean...he was invisible. The only guy who was more invisible was Gallagher when we started hitting him all the time.

Nothing... didn't have a guy to get him the puck and anyone who thought that Ryder would fit well into a trap system was kidding themselves. In Dallas he was a scoring fiend as well. Put him next to Spezza and see what he does.

he's def a plan C. I mean, you want a guy that's got a bit more compete in him. he's not really that top line winger we need. more of the second line. I'd go the trade route before offering him a contract. BM's got alot of work ahead of july 1st if you ask me.

yeah I could get behind a move for Cammy. depending what they want in return. his value is quite low so they might want to hold unto him till the trade deadline to see if they can't up it somehow.
I agree, he needs to be motivated. seems like the kind of player that does well when he's playing for a good team. if there's a good chance you've got what it takes in the playoffs, he'll light it up. I really think he doesn't want to be in calgary. he'd do well here.

He still has a house near Montreal I think.

I don't know I figured he'd be traded by the deadline this season, I guess no team wanted his salary. No one even wanted Jokinen.

I'd rather re-sign Benoit, in that case. But we have a lot of D.

1st pairing is Karlsson-Methot, that's pretty much set. Cowen/Gryba make a nice 2nd pairing. Full off-season to recover/train and then a full camp and pre-season, and we will see a much better Cowen. So we need to fill out the bottom pairing, and we have Phillips, Wiercioch, Borowiecki. Ideally we find a veteran RHS guy, or we could see how things play out at the start of the season.

Re-sign Benoit to replace Gonchar? No deal! Gryba on the 2nd pairing? Perhaps, but preferably on the 3rd pairing with Phillips, which takes us right back to where we were...what do we do about replacing Gonchar if he leaves?

The Boyler to the rescue...

Something has to give in SJ though. They have 8.6M in cap space next season needing to sign about 5 players... That's tight..

I wish...can't see that happening now that SJ appears to have constructed a strong team.

I can... I don't think Cowen goes anywhere... Wiercioch may stay until Ceci is ready.. and that's at least 2 seasons from now.. He needs a lot of work on his defense...

Then there was talk of that young Swedish D from NCAA that was thinking of leaving college last season.. but stayed.. Can't remember his name. Sens were rumoured to be the frontrunners. I think he was from Gothenberg... and played with Karlsson?

Cammalleri has a "Limited No Trade" clause, but you would think he'd waive that to go just about anywhere that's not Calgary. The Flames do have plenty of cap space next year ($17M of space with 19 players already signed), so it's not like they need to shed salary. Also, Feaster has said he's been told to make the playoffs next year, so they may not want to trade Cammalleri for prospects/picks....

Wouldn't give up anything for Cammalleri other than a mid tier prospect and mid round pick. He's ok, he would probably fit in but his best days are behind him for sure. There are better options out there for sure, Briere being one of them.

How is a 30-year old Cammalleri over the hill but a 35-year Briere not ?

Very interesting: Pierre McGuire was asked who on the list of UFA would be a best fit for the Sens, and he chose Brian Bickell.
Mentionned that he was ready to break out and that his shot is overwhelming, and even said with Spezza he could be the Sens' version of James Neal.

Didn't realize he said that, but Bickell is quite interesting and McGuire usually knows his stuff.

It sounds like a nice Latendresse 2.0 type signing. Low risk, high potential and low cost so Eugene would approve.

yeah I'd thought we'd target him or Stalberg if looking for more depth

but a James Neal I don't see
