Still have the possibility to clear out Bouw, Stajan and Babs which would open up the cap space to just over 17 million.
I don't think Bouw is getting traded now the more I look at it but I do believe Stajan and Babs could be shipped out to give Feaster even more flexibility.
Right now we have:
Tanguay - Cammalleri/Hudler - Iginla
Baertschi - Cervenka - Cammalleri/Hudler
Glencross - Backlund - Stempniak
Comeau - Jones - Jackman
I don't see Stajan fitting in there anywhere, he's gotta go even though I appreciate how he played near the end of the season last year. If Feaster had any faith in Stajan's playing he wouldn't be saying that they would put Cammy at 1st line centre even though they really don't want to have to do that if they can't find a 1st line centre. With Hudler coming in who plays the wing but also plays center and Cervenka and Backlund on deck depending on how they start the season there just doesn't seem to be room for Stajan, certainly not at 3.5 mill on the 4th line. Babs finds himself in the same kind of position on Defense, there just isn't room for them.
