The options are pretty limited.

Horvat is much more likely a sign and trade deal if he isnt kept and same with larkin.

That essentially leaves Monahan Toews and haula (jesus) as the 3 best options of guys who would actually potentially be available.

If im Kent Hughes looking at the market and how well Monahan has rebounded (he has looked excellent sp far this year no injury hesitation) I am looking for a big payday for SM at 50 percent retained.

So finding a decent replacement probably starts at the 1st round pick.

Too bad Pinto keeps getting hurt, because when he does play he does it so well.

to be fair, he only got injured once last season, even though he came back and played one game before leaving, it was the same injury that made him unable to play last season, but i do hope he doesn't get hurt again

Gee if the Sens (or any team) wanted Bear, you would think they would've offered a fourth rounder to Carolina.

If the cap goes to 86.5 (as rumored), Sens will buy out Zaitsev instead

Ccheap buyout in terms of $$$ too
