Pretty sure there have been reports that it is unlikely dumo is traded.

Would be risky to throw both of POJ and Smith in the mix right away as they are unproven, although if one of them isnt ready you can do

Ruuta - Letang
Pettersson - Petry
POJ/Smith - Ruhwedel
Friedman

Where Smith is sent down to the AHL or POJ is traded if they arent ready

It was the other way around for the report. Pettersson is unlikely to be moved. So he’s not expendable anymore. I don’t know if two righties on the first line is a good idea. Rutta is a 3rd RHD on this team at best unless petry or tanger go down with an injury. It’s honestly up to hextall to see what he wants to do with the with smith. POJ 100% is playing this year as his contract would say so

Highly doubt Kapanen signs for $1million unfortunately.

With the 2 years he’s been with the team he’s a one year and then right back into the ****ter type guy. Arbitration is gonna be rough for him and he will lose. Now praying the GM doesn’t screw it up I could see the team putting the offer of there end of a million for how poor his play was last year

Kappy probably gets 2 mil in arbitration. Drops from his 3 something, but someone like McGinn who's getting 2.75 (and other "comparables") will keep his value higher than 1 mil.
