So how long until we get this press release.....

"Canes have signed Tim Gleason to a 1 year contract"

I'm honestly not looking forward to having all these young guys flaking our D. Then again, they may be better than Gleason.

But if they do call someone up (instead of acquiring/signing a vet), I hope it's Biega. Let Pesce/Carrick/Slavin develop down in the AHL

Wiz was also one of our more experienced defensemen, so losing him leaves a hole that Gleason could fill in a way that an AHL callup couldn't. This roster was constructed to have a certain balance of vets and prospects, and this is going to throw it way off unless we sign somebody.

Or trade for somebody. I'm sure Ronnie is fielding some calls already.
