I think he'll come pretty cheap -- even cheaper than Huskins -- on a one-year deal and he can still bring it on the PP. 17 points in 23 games for Montreal last year. Assuming Ehrhoff gets moved, Schneider would know how to run the point, gain the zone, and get his shot on net. Having experienced point men -- Boyle, Blake, and Schneider -- wouldn't be too shabby. The guy is double-digits in goals every year.

It doesn't play to Zubov's advantage either that he's only played 56 games over the last two years.

I won't be surprised to see Chechoo waved, along with Shelley and perhaps even Murray.

He doesn't have nearly the offensive talents though, but I think he could contribute. I wonder if we see more of him or Joslin this year.

They could be waiting to assess Petrecki and Couture... We might not see any trades until after development camp or even after training camp..? I think Petrecki might have the best shot because of his size, grit and attitude which is reportedly much like Chris Pronger, nasty and moody. I like him already!

Also Couture... I might be playing this up too much but I wonder if we might see him slip into the lineup? I know we currenly have 7 D, but wonder if promoting Petrecki might give DW more trade options... I would guess that Ehrhoff and Lukowich are the best bets for a trade. Petrecki's size and presence on the blue line is tempting especially with Murray.
