not a big surprise, as you would want the team to have the opportunity to lock him in long term - though I confess, I don't know exactly what happens to the arbitration period if Chucky is dealt before then?
But you definitely want to move on before training camp so this situation doesn't become a distraction...also would be nice to get the new players adjusted with Sutter and the group.
its tricky as you don't want to take a lesser deal either due to the shorten time span to Aug 11...
