This is very true about overagers. Craig Shira was a previous example of an overager that the Sens got. OK AHL player.

Good question, by my count 48 including Kassian.
Rutkowski doesn't count since he is still in junior.
York was saying this morning that he would be Number 50. Not sure if Rutkowski counts or not. When season is over he'll play in Binghamton I guess.
So someone has to go to accommodate any other signings. Murray could deal two or three for one in the right trade scenario, but he says he's waiting to see which bodies he's getting back from the injury list.
Other than that, if we get a shot at signing a Sustr, who would you part with? Let go.

Regin and Daugavins would be the first people I dropped. Lundin probably isn't worth keeping either.
It pains me to say it..but..Brad Peltz seems to be the obvious choice. Or does he not count?

News Release: Senators sign defenceman Troy Rutkowski to a three-year contract
So it's now confirmed with link.

Per cap geek, Ottawa now has 53 contracts with 4 labeled as SR (but only 3 will slide). That puts us at 49. since Rutkowski will be SR, doesn't count yet.

Culek's contract should also slide, no?
Without trades we have Alfredsson, Lats, Caporusso, Jessiman, Lundin, Regin, Daugavins, Gonchar, Benoit who could go unsigned.
And we have to make room for Ceci, Noesen, Puempel, Culek, Rutkowski and possibly Sdao.

Not sure how York is counting them, I used Capgeek.
The Sens currently have 28 players on their roster, including 5 on the IR. In additional they have 20 in the minors, plus 4 playing in junior.
Since 18- or 19-year old players with remaining major junior eligibility do not count toward the contract limit until he has played at least 11 NHL games, if the player is assigned to his major-junior team only, the Sens have 4 contracts that don't count.
Therefore by my math they have 48 of the 50.
So if/when Rutkowski is signed the Sens still have space for 2 additional signings since he also falls under the junior rule.

Sliding I don't believe has anything to do with the 50 contract limit, it just means the contract can be extended for a year under certain conditions.
These guys are already signed.
Culek misses by 8 days, I thought his birth date was later, my bad for not checking.

Their contracts slide this year and most likely won't slide next year in AHL.
Rutkowski signing is confirmed btw.

Exactly what I was saying, we're full on contracts and will be for a while. Being worried about losing a few late round picks is useless. We will be forced to let prospects/players walk for nothing a lot in the next few years, better players than the prospects we could get in the 6th/7th rounds (except a few miracles)
To be honest we don't really need him to be anything more than a good AHL D-man... For the NHL, we already have :
Karlsson-Cowen-Methot-Wiercioch-Gryba-Borowiecki
Ceci-Claesson-Wikstrand-Sdao-Blood-Wideman...
We are really fine as far as defensive depth is concerned
I shouldn't have discounted Culek, thought his birthday was later in September, my bad.
So with Rutkowski the Sens have reached the 50 contract limit.

The Sens are with the Rutkowski announcement.
I have to suspect Murray has plans to move a few of the contracts by the trade deadline to open up a few spaces for potential college signings.

If that is our d-core going forward, there will be problems. What's happens if we have 2 injuries to our top6, to Methot and Wiercioch for example?

I don't think it looks that bad. Legit #1 with Karlsson, a potential 2/3 guy in Cowen, a 3/4 in Methot, a top-4 guy in Ceci, a 4/5 in Wiercioch, and a bunch of bottom pairing guys. At the very least, that's a serviceable blueline. Maybe we'd add another top-4 guy for a Cup run.

My main concern was if injuries hit, but in no way is Ceci close to being a #4 guy yet. Is this projection for 2014-2015? In that case it's much more reasonable.

I assumed it was a long-term projection/a prospect evaluation.
Short term it's obviously a mess of inexperience.
