I am not complaining about the budget, just concerned about the ability to spend more down the road.

The floor will be going up and it will cost more just to keep what we have.

Exactly...

Melnyk probably lost a bundle in his divorce.. that put him in a bad way financially?

There was an unsubstantiated rumour on another site (probably not true) that the league had to step in and pay some of the players salaries at the end of the season -- they kept that hush-hush.

They need a new Zamboni, apparently, and don't have the $$ to do that..

All of this really has me concerned that this team could be sold and it is gone out of town..

Ill start with the expectation Neely with disagree with all of them. Some or UFAs some aren't. I'm basically looking at players that I wouldn't expect would cost a player who was on the roster last year.

- Dan Boyle
- David Clarkson
- Patrick Elias
- Dan Brier
- Grant Clotsome
- Andrew Ference

Who'd I miss?

- Dan Boyle (great player)
- David Clarkson (will be so over paid he will be bought out eventually)
- Patrick Elias (I suppose... nothing wrong with him for a year or two)
- Dan Brier (he could be a Sen, no question)
- Grant Clotsome (good depth D man if need be)
- Andrew Ference (no chance)

Who'd I miss?
