The Blues have been relatively active in the last couple weeks getting the house in order and it has taken time but we have managed to accomplish the following:
Out
Olli Jokinen
Michael Cammalleri
Ryan Smyth
Bryan McCabe
Kimmo Timmonen
Henrik Bjorklund
$34.25mm in salary
In
Erik Gudbranson
Greg Nemisz
Carter Ashton
1st (NJD) 2012
1st (STL) 2012
1st (TBD) 2012
49th Overall pick 2011
51st Overall pick 2011
The biggest thing was shedding that massive amount of salary in a lot of older Grid players. Some of the deals we know we didn't get the best value we could but had to make them. For example, McCabe went to Tampa bay for Greg Nemisz and a 2nd this year....Tampa gets solid value for a 72 OVR guy.
We are open to taking on some cap now depending on the player, so if you are in need of cap space send me a PM or catch me on MSN, as I have been on more than I thought I would.
