I guess maybe Travis Moen might fit in--he's in the $900k range.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it's a combination of players. Huskins, May, Parros, Hnidy, and (maybe) Dipenta I think are all signed through next year on pretty small-ish deals.<BR/><BR/>What it also means is that there is no way Corey Perry is getting extended before next summer.Earl Sleekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15843720035500316419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-86460646005990321282007-12-06T11:07:00.000-08:002007-12-06T11:07:00.000-08:00Fow what it's worth, Forth period.com is reporting...Fow what it's worth, Forth period.com is reporting the amount of cap space needed is only 1 million. Teemue is UFA, so his salary this season (if he comes back) as I understand it, does not affect next season's "tagging room"<BR/><BR/>So, unless I missed something, we only need to move 1 million in salary to add Scott, notrhing to add Teemue after that.<BR/><BR/>Not so bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27850362.post-27521641520224940732007-12-06T09:05:00.000-08:002007-12-06T09:05:00.000-08:00I love Burkie.

Not that the team can afford to give up a pretty good "any situation" forward, but you have to sacrifice to resurrect Jesus Christ himself. I wish Hnidy would would be the guy to go though, he should be a healthy scratch in Portland.<BR/><BR/>I bet O'Donnell is the man without a chair when the music stops though, he is still marketable for a lot of teams who need a dependable defensive defensemen.<BR/><BR/>PS: <I>SEVEN FUCKING DAYS</I> - More cursing please!
