I'm gonna miss those occasional power moves of his, but at his age he makes about as much sense to keep as Glencross.

Makes sense. We probably will need to allocate his cap money to someone who is providing more when we are ready to be a contender.
It's rather interesting in the cap world, as a RFA/UFA you want your agent getting you the best deal possible. However, if your agent does too good of a job, you may find yourself being a place holder for a couple seasons before being shuffled around and dumped off when teams take that final step towards being a contender. Only in rare cases does it pay off and you get a chance to be a rental on a cup winner (Gaborik, Vermette).
