I was very upset with the sequin trade, but the cap is the main reason for that IMO. If they won the cup last year with Iggy we wouldn't have cared as much. Thats where Chia really gets the blame. Too many contracts paying for future potential and most have no trade clauses. Thats why Boychuk is gone too, that and the depth at D Chia thought they had. But basically salary cap league means you can't keep everyone.

At the end of the day players like Johnny NEED to be traded.
We have Seindenberg locked up for two more years.......
Chara for ATLEAST another three......
We should have Hamilton locked up....hopefully soon....
That's three much older vets and a future (hopefully) number one center......you following.
Then we have Miller....young player, part of the future....he is a top four D man ATLEAST.....
Krug is a power play specialist and a young top four or five D man.....
That leaves one spot....ONE SPOT......we have Mcquaid.....warsofsky......Trotman......AND LUCKY FOR INJURIES......MORROW....?
I love Johnny Rocket but we need to see what we have in our youth by giving them a chance OR WE OVERPAY MEDIOCER PLAYERS LIKE KELLY.
