They are 8M and 6M this year.<br /><br />If they keep Gilroy on defense and move some cheap talent up front, I think they can get under the cap for 10-11.Anaheim Callinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136410235455457786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902169120893062052.post-80642850977829589602009-07-20T22:05:34.932-07:002009-07-20T22:05:34.932-07:00the situation with the rangers is an assumption on...the situation with the rangers is an assumption on my part looking at their cap problems and whos making the money, nobody will take Redden, or Roszival without sending contracts back.<br /><br />Staal is a guy that could get poached if the cap sinks but again i'm certain they'll waive Redden at some point.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14895642392960904563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902169120893062052.post-35006991493798551222009-07-20T22:05:03.293-07:002009-07-20T22:05:03.293-07:00ARTHUR:

I suppose they had some guys hit their bonuses unexpectedly.<br /><br />On Giguere, I think the bigger question is what cities are on his list. Montreal can still afford to trade Giguere for Price straight up, but that would put them right against the cap. He may have an addendum to his list of teams if he can't earn his job back.<br /><br Anaheim Callinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187897108592478476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902169120893062052.post-1632575651729254912009-07-20T21:36:25.706-07:002009-07-20T21:36:25.706-07:00@Rob.

Keith will get big dollars. Hopefully Sbisa shows alot of potential this year so we have a better idea about what we have. Gardiner, Sbisa, Whitney, Wis and Mitera could potentially be an excellent group to build around.

K...I'm pretty much in agreement with you guys. Keith is likely to be the odd man out, in the wake of Barker's new contract. He's probably the defenseman they'd most like to keep, but they dicked their salary situation up too badly to make that a reality. Even dumping Buff and Seabrook likely wouldn't be quite enough to make keeping all three of them doable, and Kane and Toews Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892367633984292438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902169120893062052.post-64814674191618039572009-07-20T12:34:25.756-07:002009-07-20T12:34:25.756-07:00ARTHUR:

And no team is just going to absorb those contracts to give Bowman a hand, not when the alternative is that Kane, Toews or Keith might shake loose.<br /><br />Bowman's smart, and probably knows that if he is willing to lose Keith, he can get this done with one Anaheim Callinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187897108592478476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902169120893062052.post-22575484125152272122009-07-20T12:05:18.492-07:002009-07-20T12:05:18.492-07:00I think of the big 3 Keith isn't the one that ...I think of the big 3 Keith isn't the one that is untouchable; the captain is. Toews and his 34 goals will be back in Chicago, but if you lose Kane's 45 assists, who's going to get him the puck?<br /><br />I think a that a defensively responsible, puck moving defenseman is at least a viable replacement for Keith, because he can get the puck to Kane and Toews and they can score.
