His contract would have expired before that so no, that had nothing to do with itMuch as I hate paying 1.5 for nothing the next two seasons, expansion draft made this so necessary.

I see both sides. Yes, the bottom 6 needs to be better. It seems like the the 4th line will stay in tact. 3rd line is question mark. If Raffl goes down to 3rd line and Laughton plays the other wing, then do you try to upgrade from Cousins? Cousins goes to 4th line? Benched?
I'm just thinking, I don't see Hextall signing or acquiring a 3MM dollar 3rd line C. Not right now.
Cousins is not a good #3c not even close, he's there due to the lack of depth
So it was basically
4.6M this year or 1.6 this year and 1.5 next year?
I guess this only depends on Hextall's plans. Wants more flexibility this year at the expense of 1.5M next year. I'm fine with it.
So you have. Not sure Hextall has. Hextall hasn't said much about getting better on the bottom 6. He's very aware of the Top 6.
You actuall may be right because Cap friendly had Lyon as part as next year's number so it would be about $5.4 after Schenn and Gudas (I think $7.5 is wishful think unless both sign shorter term deals).Schenn* - Giroux - Simmonds
Raffl - Couturier - Voracek
Laughton - ????? - Read
Bellemare - ???? - VdV
???
MDZ - Gudas*
MacDonald - Gostisbehere
Provorov - Streit
Schultz
Looks like 3 spots, and I suspect that Schenn and Gudas come in close to $7.5m, leaving $5m
3C = $3m
Cousins = ~925k
13th forward = 700k?
That still leaves about a half million, no?
I'd love to get Girgensons. The way I would work it would be :
Raffl/Schenn - Giroux - Voracek
Raffl/Read - Couturier - Schenn/Simmonds
Raffl/Read/Cousins - Girgensons - Simmonds/Laughton
McDonald/PEB - Laughton/Cousins/Raffl - White/VV
Lots of flexibility.

Have a you seen the main boards and his value thread? If his real value is anywhere close to that, no one will be paying it. They expect a young, top 4 LHD in return....even said Sanheim.
Don't know what 3C your are getting for a single 2nd round pick.
you just know he is going to score a goal against the Flyers in his first game against the Flyers next season.
and that will be proceeded with someone starting a was it a mistake to buy him out thread.
You think any team in the league is gonna take him?
I'm guessing Europe or retirement is all that's left for him.
I think someone will. you don't think some team will give him a league minimum 1 year deal?

This team still employs an inferior player in VdV, so I do think Umberger will got a cheap contract somewhere.
