Now let's say you still want to free up more space, do you achieve this by shedding yourself of your top young star forward, or do you look at Chris Kelly's contract, and think, hmmm..... we could probably do without that 3M hit.
Now you've got 8.3M to play with, to sign two players, and you still have Seguin.
Like I said, it just doesn't add up.

They can't spend that $4 million of Savard LTIR money until the season starts.
Also i read that Rask is getting $6 million. They are also going to announce the extension for Bergeron and thats going to be north of $6 million. Now that won't kick in until the following year, but are teams going to be lining up to take Peverly and Kelly's contract off their hands?
