Blues have ~$650K right now.

Correct me if im wrong but i think we have 3.5 mil.

And in regards to top-6 being distant third inn terms of needs, thats besides the point. Simply put, by filling one of our needs it makes more players that were counted on for secondary scoring to be expendable...

so w/o Shanny we had prospects and picks for PMD
with Shanny we potentially have Fisher and picks PMD

You can't trade Fisher, we just signed him and he's got a No Movement Clause. Forget about a No Trade, this is a No Movement.

Errr....

The Blues have almost $3 mil in cap space, and the Sens have about $4.5 mil. (NHLSCAP.com has Ottawa with $3.236 mil in space, but we can tack on Lee's $1.275 mil now that he has been sent to the minors = just over $4.5 mil in cap space.)

See http://www.hockeybuzz.com/cap-central/index.php

Either team could accommodate Shanny if they wanted him, and he wanted to join them. He will sign for less than last year -- that is, under $2 mil.

What the deuce!? Something has changed from when I put my numbers in about a week ago... I'm looking into it.

EDIT: Eric Johnson on LTIR relieves $3.7M of capspace.

Goaltending?? If you had that top of the list then I totally disagree with you. As long as Auld is in there providing the stops he's supposed to make, combined with strong team D we're fine in that area. What does that leave? Top six forward.
