Vanek will get a good return if we move him. Green will get a good return if we move him (next year likely). Moving players like Jurco/Smith/Sheahan is made an easier decision when you sign guys like Nielsen, Helm etc, guys who in turn will possibly be moved down the road if we're still struggling. You want that flexibility of having assets you can sell if you're way out, but if you actually start putting things together those same players can actually help you win.Steve Ott fetching a 6th is not an argument for spending to the cap ceiling every year.
He was a 4th line player getting paid 4th line money.
