Think we need to be more realistic with the EK trades. I know we're interested, but the Timo deal shows that Waddell will hold to a fair offer and even if he gets beat, it won't be as lofty a return as expected. The Canes are interested so I think something gets worked out. My thoughts - I believe they will ask around $2M in retention from SJ and involve another team for $2M. Just a guestimate. Roster players like KK, Necas, Jarvis will NOT be involved. Perhaps Drury. Morrow not likely involved but a good D prospect and/or a good forward prospect could be. I can see Skjei moving. Pesce would need to be traded to make room for EK, but Skjei is no longer needed with the Orlov signing. Slavin-Orlov-3LHD now. That's where additional money gets cleared.
