TRADE GATE: 37 Days



For up-to-the-moment worthless trade chatter, shoot a message to me on Twitter.

(WGR 550) -- With five-plus weeks until the trade deadline, it's close enough to evaluate which teams might be buyers and sellers. Instead of just giving you five players who would help the Sabres -- like I did last year -- how about we look at some deals that could behoove not just the Sabres, but the rest of the league (Yes, there will be Sabres deals, and I actually called other media markets for opinions on what might work)?

Before we go any further, how about an update on how many players are coming to Buffalo, courtesy of everyone's favorite web site, Hockey Buzz (Come on, even folks who hate it check it out all the time).

Dion Phaneuf (15%)
Matthew Lombardi (30%)
Martin Biron (90%)
Teemu Selanne (5%)
Olli Jokinen (10%)
Jere Lehtinen (30%)
Raffi Torres (15%)
Mathieu Schneider (30%)
Jordan Leopold (15%)
Jeff Halpern (15%)
Matt Cullen (15%)
Joe Corvo (20%)
Petr Sykora (25%)

Leaving Buffalo...
Toni Lydman (60% he stays, 30% to LAK, 10% to DAL)

WHAT A TRADE BY DARCY REGIER!! In a 12-team deal, there's a 315 percent chance the Sabres will deal one single, solitary defenseman for some of the league's finer veterans. Seriously! Lydman for 13 players! Fire Regier?!? How about FIRE YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!

(I know the numbers don't work that way, but it's only late January. Things are only going to get crazier).

Could-be partners No. 1 -- NY Rangers and Carolina

Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford has already said that "50 percent of his roster will be different" next year, and there are probably only two names guaranteed to stick around: Eric Staal and Cam Ward. With that in mind, the Canes have the second-least amount of cap space in the National Hockey League (Vancouver has the least), and would love to ditch some of that money for players in place of nothing. 

New York has a very-deep farm system (The web site Hockey's Future puts the Rangers organizational depth at No. 3 overall). With a number of young blueliners in the pipeline, the Rangers can afford to deal one of their many young blueliners (look at Bobby Sanguinetti or maybe even highly-toured Ryan McDonagh) in order to pick up UFA Whitney, who would be an ideal left winger for Chris Drury should the Blueshirts want to put Chris Higgins on another line.

The biggest obstacle to this deal is that New York is right up against the cap, so they'd need to fire someone, and who's going to take on Ales Kotalik or Wade Redden?

Proposed deal:
NY Rangers - Ray Whitney ($3.5 million hit)
Carolina - Bobby Sanguinetti, 2nd round pick

Could-be partners No. 2 -- Philadelphia and Anaheim:

When Michael Leighton's your best statistical goaltender, you're in a spot. The Flyers need to eschew their traditional "hope some guy named Cechmanek is good enough to win a Cup" mentality and reach out and touch someone on the West Coast. Philadelphia's trio of Leighton, Brian Boucher and Ray Emery will not win a title, and only Boucher is signed beyond this season anyway. With Philly's pitiful penalty kill, the Flyers would do well to improve the position deemed "the best penalty killer."

The Flyers are no longer in the desolate dimension called salary cap hell, with about 2.68 million to play with by March 3. It would take some movement to free up the $6 million to pick up Anaheim's current No. 2, J.S. Giguere, who is inked through 2010-11. Maybe the Ducks see some gloss on Briere beyond the injuries Flyers fans have seen.

Anaheim -- Daniel Briere, Brian Boucher, 2nd round pick
Philadelphia -- J.S. Giguere, Nick Boynton

Could-be partners No. 3 -- Pittsburgh and Minnesota


Like Philadelphia, a special teams unit is really hurting the Penguins. Believe it or not, Pittsburgh aches on the power play. Yes, with Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby around, the Pens are tied for the third-worst unit in the league.

Why? Well, as I pointed out on an "Inside the Numbers" a few weeks back, the reason is really weird. Over the previous two years, Pittsburgh's PP was red-hot thanks to Petr Sykora. Seriously. Opponents were so busy taking care of Crosby and Malkin that Sykora scored 28 power play goals over two seasons before skipping town for Minnesota.

Rest assured the Pens didn't want Sykora to leave, but Pittsburgh has $775k to the cap. Why would a "seller" like the Wild -- if they deemed themselves as such -- take on money? Sykora is making $1.6 this year and is only signed through the end of the campaign. Pittsburgh would have to find a way to ditch $900k in another deal, which is very possible. Would Minnesota take a gritty, two-way prospect and a pick for Sykora? I would.

Pittsburgh -- Petr Sykora
Minnesota -- Dustin Jeffrey, 4th round pick

Could-be partners No. 4 & 5 -- Buffalo and Carolina or Edmonton

Before I begin, let me tell you that I believe the Sabres need -- more than anything else -- another guy in the locker room who is going to put a proverbial knife to the throat of a player who isn't trying hard enough for silverware. I'm talking a guy who's playoff beard is actually made out of tiny pieces of barbed-wire, and would block a shot with his actual, exposed beating heart if it meant his name appearing on Lord Stanley's Cup.

As we've said, the Canes are dealing. Carolina is currently the second-oldest team in the NHL, at almost 30 years-per-player (What a stat "years-per-player" is). Now they'll get younger if they can find someone to take on the albatross that is Rod Brind'Amour. "The Schnozz" has the reputation as a fitness freak, but time has caught up to the former star. Over the last two seasons, Brind'Amour has just 63 points in 130 games, posting a superlative plus/minus of minus-48.

So, what kind of deal can help both teams? The hardest thing about this trade is that the moment I put down a single name from the Sabres roster or future, people hate it. Either you like the guy and think Buffalo would never deal him, or you hate the guy and think he has no value to anyone else. It's a no-win situation, but I'll do it anyway because I'm a glutton for punishment.

If the Sabres were to part with someone signed past next season, say Andrej Sekera -- who I believe has way more value than anyone in Buffalo would think and carries enough of a cap-hit ($1 mil) to actually get something in return -- I think they could pick up a forward who could really help them. In Carolina's case, would they take Sekera and a non-first rounder for a guy like Matt Cullen, who is leaving town next year unless the Canes believe rebuilding begins with a center who will be 34 one month into next season? Heck, they'd do it just to save his $2.85 million hit this year.

Buffalo trade scenario No. 1:
Carolina: Andrej Sekera, third-round pick
Buffalo: Matt Cullen

OR

I had a long talk with someone in Edmonton media this morning, who told me that only a few players on Edmonton's roster wouldn't be moved for the right price. The Oilers are aching for first-round picks, which we know aren't coming from Buffalo. They know they have junior stud Jordan Eberle coming up, and also know they likely won't be good for a while, so why not build?

If the name isn't Luby Visnovsky, Ladislav Smid, Dustin Penner or Sam Gagner, ring Alberta. If you want to take on Shawn Horcoff's $5.5 million deal, he's out there. Who would they love to get rid of? Sheldon Souray, Steve Staios, Ethan Moreau and/or Fernando Pisani. I was told the long-heard Buffalo rumours that the Oilers would love, love, love Drew Stafford are absolutely true. Drew is the nephew of Edmonton's head equipment manager. When you hear it from the horse's mouth, it means a little more.

With Kevin Lowe out-of-power, it's reasonable to believe the Sabres and Edmonton could be dealmakers. In my opinion, Buffalo would love to get its hands on Moreau, who is having a rough go-of-it in Edmonton. The 34-year-old is signed through 2011, so it would take more than money to get him away from the Oilers. When I was working on a potential deal -- seriously, this is my job -- with the media member in Edmonton, he said the progress of former No. 1 pick Andrew Cogliano has stalled with the Oilers, and he's movable.

So, would you part with a player who tries every other night to get two guys who would sell select internal organs for a Cup? The Sabres would need to make a separate deal to free up a little more money, but how about this?

Buffalo trade scenario No. 2:
Edmonton: Drew Stafford
Buffalo: Ethan Moreau, Andrew Cogliano

I'm super interested in this deal if Buffalo could make it work. Moreau and Cogliano's combined cap-hit is $3.13 million. The Sabres have $1.8 million in room and Stafford's hit is $1.9 mil. Think about it. They'd have to play a left wing on the right, but your 12 regular forwards would look like this:

Vanek--Connolly--Grier
Roy--Cogliano--Pominville
Moreau-Gaustad-Kaleta
Kennedy-Hecht-MacArthur

Again, these are just some thoughts. I'm not saying they are the best options, or even all-that-realistic. Also, keep-in-mind the long-held and absurd rumour that the Sabres apparently K-O trades if they leak out.

Tell me I'm stupid here: nick@wgr550.com

TRADE GATE: 37 Days
Your comment here...
01/25/2010 10:14AM
You make sense
HOWEVER, any chance Briere would be able to be dealt back IF we gave Phili Lalime, Stafford and a 5th round pick? I don't know the numbers on their cap figures/salaries, so this is just a theory trade.
01/25/2010 10:45AM
PP QB
I think we need a Power Play QB before another heart and soul guy. We have Montador, Rivet and Grier for that. Edmonton has too many D-Men so I think Staff for Gilbert would be a better trade for both teams. Same with Carolina, Staff for Pitkanen
01/25/2010 10:49AM
LALIME?
Why in the world would they want Lalime. So they have 4 backups instead of 3? Try Enroth instead of Lalime.
01/25/2010 10:56AM
Done.
If that suggested deal w/ Edmonton came across Darcy's desk, I would hope he would OK it instantly.
01/25/2010 11:11AM
moreau
moreau for lydman and paetsch
01/25/2010 11:11AM
cogs & moreau?
for stafford? no way in hell edm makes that trade. unless their GM's name is pocklington, that trade doesn't go down. granted it would be awesome if it did.
01/25/2010 11:14AM
Which is it?
You say NY has 6 mil to play with but also say they're right up against the cap.
01/25/2010 11:39AM
Cogliano is Awful
He has 5 G, 7 A, 12 pts in 50 games. We don't need an underperforming guy who is 5'10'' and not physical. The deal Darcy should be looking for is Stafford Butler or Sekera 2010 1st rounder for Kaberle. He'd instantly make the PP more dangerous and he's signed for another season at a very reasonable $4.25 million. The deal makes sense for the Leafs, too, who don't have a 1st rounder (traded for Kessel) and need young bodies like Staff and Butler/Sekera for their rebuild.
01/25/2010 11:53AM
Well........
I would rather see Stafford go...and try to pick Souray, Pasani. Also keep Lalime (contract over at end of this year) keep working with Enroth make him backup next year, and trade Rivet,Paetsch, Sekera (not all 3 at once) but create some kind of package and pick up a player like Sykora, or Lecavlier. I know he wants out....and what about that guy.......Kovalchuck??????
01/25/2010 11:55AM
I love that idea!!!!!!
Bring Kaberle here, he would definetly make a huge impact!!!!! Great idea!!
01/25/2010 11:56AM
how about the only deal that makes sense
simple one deal would make them legit contenders, which the ostrich's at this staion with their heads in the sand think they are, ......... vanek,stafford and 2nd round pick for kovalchuk
01/25/2010 12:06PM
Hey Darcy!!!!!
Let's make a serious run here!!!! How about this?????Lydman and Sekera to Toronto for Kaberle.Stafford to Edmonton for MoreauA first round pick, Rivet, Paetsch and Butler to Tampa for Lecalvier. Ok maybe not all 3 and a pick but, I know if Vinny was let go from that hockey wasteland in Tampa Bay, he would bloom again if were to be on a "hockey" Team....If we don't get him I can GUARANTEE that the Montreal Canadiens might, and I don't think they will think twice of sending Gionta and or Gomez to Tampa to get him. Let's make a move and win the cup. I am sure we can do it!!!!!
01/25/2010 12:07PM
Vanek
I like the trade, but I don't want to lose 2 players for 1 guy that is only gonna be here for 3 or 4 months, seems like a waste
01/25/2010 12:28PM
Agreed
I agree with a couple comments lets make a run for the cup. I dunno in my eyes we dotn need allot. Maybe a D Man and like someone mentioned a PP QB i honestly love this team this year but the lack of PP presence and a High Notch D Man worries me. Bring someone in to teach Myers more... just my thoughts. and NO ON Kovalchuk
01/25/2010 12:35PM
Vanek and Butler for Kovy
a ten year deal signed by Kovulchuck is affordablke in Buffalo and would help Atlants to get two players who could add to their team right away. Kovachuck would solve many of the Sabres ills down the center and in shootouts. This would all be predicated with an agreed upon new contract by Kovy.
01/25/2010 12:39PM
I agree
We don't want to rip the team apart to gain 2 or 3 guys. I would like to see Kaberle AND Kovalchuck OR Lecalvier and that's it. We just need help on PP and Shootouts. Rest of team is OUTSTANDING!!
01/25/2010 12:42PM
Kovalchuk hates Ruff
Don't you remember the "Max was afraid to smile" comments that Kovy made earlier this season? I'm sure Max and Kozlov have clouded Kovy's mind about coming to Buffalo. Besides, where's GuyinOP to tell us that Kovy is asoft Europastry?
01/25/2010 12:43PM
Bring back Jagr
You know that guy's hungry to play. Get him out of Russia and into a Sabres uniform! Free agent signing = we don't give another team a valuable player!
01/25/2010 12:52PM
Realistically, based on Regier's past trades...
To Florida: MacArthur, LW($1.4M) 2010 # 3 draft pick To Buffalo: Stillman, LW ($3.5M) 2010 # 2 & 3 draft pick While Stillman's much older than MacArthur, he brings Cup experience and is a proven PP contributor. Whitney would be my first choice but I think there are too many bidders for him. Chris Higgins (26, $2.25M, UFA in summer) would be a great addition for beyond this year and would fit in Ruff's system - he's apparently available for as little as a draft pick. Chris Higgins would be a bargain pickup that would thrive in Ruff's system and be a solid player but Sabres would need to make room for him.
01/25/2010 1:23PM
Trades
Its fun to think about but we are NOT getting Kovalchuk and we are NOT getting Lecavier. What we will get is a marginal winger or a PP QB if we can ship a d-man the other way. The person who suggested Stillman is right on the money with what Darcy would do. I could also see a D-Man coming our way from Edmonton. They have 5 offense-minded D-men so I could see us getting Gilbert. The other ones (Souray, Visnovsky) get paid too much in the coming years and Darcy would never pay a player he didn't draft more than 4 million a year.
01/25/2010 1:37PM
Andreja Sekera , LOL !!
HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING::: SPRING GOLF!!!!!!!!!!! Lets see, Andreja Sekera... Thats the STIFF that CLEARED WAIVERS cuz NO ONE WANTED HIM FOR NOTHING???? NO ONE WANTS WALMART PLAYERS CUZ THEY SUCK!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFORRRRREEEE!!!!
01/25/2010 1:37PM
Here is the only deal Darcy will go for:
used puck bag for conditional 7th round pick
01/25/2010 1:48PM
Hartnell
I'd like to see the Sabres movie pieces for Scott Hartnell.
01/25/2010 1:49PM
re: Andreja Sekera , LOL !!
Check your facts. Sekera wasn't put on waivers.
01/25/2010 1:57PM
Andrej sekera
Andrej sekera was never on waivers the players that buffalo put on waivers this year were adam mair and nathan paetsch
01/25/2010 2:22PM
We Want Taro!
Put in Taro Tsujimoto!
01/25/2010 2:25PM
Guy only reads box scores...
so please don't bother him with facts.
01/25/2010 2:32PM
zzzzzzz
Once again even amongst the Buzz, they are sleeper deals. If we were realistic Vanek is the guy who should be moved. He's a joke for 8 mil a year. He will never be a leader, or show toughness or grit you need. Get another young top liner plus a prospect or pick. BTW let the rangers trade away their talent they are deluded to think they can play with Pitt, Wash or Philly.
01/25/2010 2:36PM
Awesome Idea!
I love the idea of that edmonton trade. Cogliano is young and fits in perfectly with Buffalo. His speed is incredible and he can add a scorers touch. The best part is he plays hard every night, unlike Stafford. Moreau would be a good add as well since he's a mike grier type player. Having a line of goose, moreau and kaleta would be great! Three big men that all have a little bit of socrers touch and tons of power!
01/25/2010 2:37PM
Patrick Sharp?
He has to be on the block because of Chicago's cap promlems right? I think he would be a perfect pick-up if you could shed some salary.
01/25/2010 2:38PM
What happened to Manny Fernadez?
Wouldn't he be a better back-up option than Lalime?
01/25/2010 2:42PM
Trade
I'd like to see Vanek, Sekera, gerbe and a 3rd round pick packaged for Kolvalchuk and armstrong
01/25/2010 2:43PM
Pipe Dreams
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA.....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH..."a ten year deal signed by Kovalchuck is affordable in Buffalo"....HAHAHAHAHAH...HAHAHAHAHAHA...please leave the name of your drug dealer.
01/25/2010 2:51PM
Its not close enough
in 35 days you can re-post this.
01/25/2010 2:52PM
Funk
We must bring back Mike Funk to contend for the cup!
01/25/2010 3:18PM
Barney Miller
What we have seems to be working outside of an inexpensive offensive player with hands. Miro would have been a decent and cheap pickup for the rest of the season
01/25/2010 3:31PM
Sharp...
will be available this summer, not at the deadline when the Hawks are ramping up for a Cup run. Even this summer he might not be available. The Hawks are going to try to move Versteeg, Barker and Byfuglien before Sharp.
01/25/2010 4:01PM
re: PP QB
idiot...they have this guy named tyler myers. not sure if you've heard of him, but he's all right for a 6'8'' 19 year old who plays like hes 26
01/25/2010 4:02PM
kovalchuk
he aint coming to buffalo. get over it. nor do i want a selfish, me first russian. the sabres have no russians anyways, he wont gel nicely. they need a grizzled vet of north american decent
01/25/2010 4:40PM
RE: Barney Miller
How bout Petr Sykora? Cheap, good hands, great on the PP, and the Wild put him through waivers already this year so they dont want him.
01/25/2010 4:44PM
RE: RE: PP QB
Myers is great but wouldn't you agree that they need help on the PP? He can only play 1 minute of a 2 minute PP and the next best option right now is Pominville on the point. Look where the Sabres are ranked in power play percentage compared to the rest of the league, idiot
01/25/2010 5:27PM
Nick
Fire Regeir!
01/25/2010 7:16PM
corkum
i think bob corkum is available again
01/25/2010 8:33PM
Where is Punch when you need him?
The best option for the Sabres brass is to get rid of the dead weight and make a run now. Players that should be dealt: Mair, Stafford, Rivet, Lydman,Lalime and Sekera..pick one or get that bundle deal...I would love to see here: Moreau, Kaberle, Stillman, Biron and any player from the west coast teams...
01/25/2010 8:54PM
Edmonton not in the cards..
Did you forget what Edmonton did to the Sabres financially when the Oilers went after Vanek in free agency a few years back. The Sabres had pay Vanek big $$ to stop the bleeding from Briere & Drury. NO Trade between Sabres & Oilers any time soon. Would love to see Marty Biron back in blue & gold again though.
01/25/2010 8:58PM
SABRES TALKS
I think i can say this now htat sabres are most likely talking to teams right now.. what i have read on other websites that sabres have alot on the block stafford,Macarthor a 2nd round pick, lydman, sejkra.. and some top prospects maybe.. the sabres should go out and get a fwd.. maybe sharp or burrows or so one from out west.. no one from the east.. there is going to be some intresting trades come march 3rd thats all i have to say... darcy do somthing now instead of waiting and watching the clock
01/25/2010 9:33PM
On the Block
MacArthur, Stafford, and Hecht should all be used as trade bait. Someone has to be interested in them.
01/25/2010 10:13PM
jillson and janik
the two guys we need the most on d are jeff jillson and doug janik. those guys were money in 05-06 lol
01/25/2010 10:24PM
rickmac37
goodbye toni for a bag of pucks
01/26/2010 12:23AM
Finisher
This team just needs a guy who can bury the good looks. We see guys like Pominville, Stafford, and Hecht miss too many open nets. The more logical guy from Atlanta would be Kozlov. He is a sniper. Would help a lot on the shootout as well. Sekera or Lydman and a pick for Slavav Kozlov. That's the deal I would like to see.
01/26/2010 1:22AM
Steve Montador sucks
ill take a bag of pucks for cheese Montadork
01/26/2010 8:08AM
Kozlov
We had Kozlov once in the Hasek trade with Detroit. He hated Buffalo and wanted to go back to Detriot (LIKE THAT MAKES SENSE) He cried like a baby his wife too. Now, he's in ATL. A city with53 hockey fans and they are all Canadians.
01/26/2010 8:14AM
KOZLOV
KOZLOV AINT COMMIN BACK TO BUFFALO.HE WAS A BIG BABY. HE CAME IN THE HASEK TRADE. GOOD RIDDENCE.
01/26/2010 8:37AM
Lydman
We are not trading Lydman. Not because we dont want to but because no one would take him. Playoff teams make trades with non-playoff teams and the non-playoff teams want to build for the future. How does Lydman help a team next year when he is an UFA at the end of this year? Stop thinking that we can trade him for a sniper.
01/26/2010 9:19AM
Souray
Souray makes the most sense, as who to trade for him.... any 2 of these guys, stafford, butler, paetsch, macarthur, sekera
01/26/2010 9:21AM
st louis?
how about st louis for stafford and a 3rd rounder? he would be a perfect fit in ruffs system
01/26/2010 9:29AM
we need Biron
lets dump Butler, Sekera for Marty Biron, and trade a draft round pick and Roy for Kovalchuck
01/26/2010 10:46AM
Lydman, Sekera and Stafford for Ovechkin
I think Ovechkin would be a good fit here.
01/26/2010 10:47AM
Time for a new beginning after the season
After this collapse, fire the three stooges Quinn, Regeir, and Ruff! Same old $$it!!!
01/26/2010 11:43AM
regiersponsibility
it's no secret the team felt let down last year with no moves at the d-line. if ti happens again, don't expect them running through walls next year, ie: .500
01/26/2010 11:57AM
Idiots
Why even bother creating talk of trades that are so unrealistic? There isn't one trade on here that would ever gone....You guys on here and on air, need to check your ideas and make them a little more realistic. I mean hell, some guy's on here talking about how Sekera cleared waivers, when he was never put on waivers.
01/26/2010 12:05PM
Size and grey beards
I see the small centers and forwards getting pushed around in the playoffs. Vanek is not small, but he plays that way. Cup contenders always add a grey bearded guy with experience, some talent, and a ton of heart. Just look at the line ups of past winners. We need one or two if possible, ie. Recchi, Neidermeyer, ect.
01/26/2010 12:44PM
Bag of Pucks
I Agree with the overhkin idea, but lets just trade TWO bags "o" pucks for him
01/26/2010 12:50PM
St. Louis
Here's an offer: Stafford, Butler a 1st and prospect to Tampa for St. Louis, Tanguay (UFA) and a 4th
01/26/2010 12:53PM
for kaberle?
whoever said "trade lydman and sekera for kaberle" has lost it. they could fetch far more than those 2 for a PP specialist with a good contract
01/26/2010 12:53PM
!?!? youve lost it
toronto could get FAR MORE than lydman and sekera for kaberla
01/26/2010 1:07PM
re: Ovechkin
Dude seriously, you need to stop smokin the Hippie Lettuce.
01/26/2010 4:00PM
Trade Roy
He's looking like he's overpaid right now. We could use a center that wins draws and can score goals. Roys been getting pushed around and pushed off the puck so easily lately. I was all for going after Jordan Staal until he signed that extension.
01/26/2010 9:46PM
Vanek
I know it won't happen, but if I were gm, I'd do anything possible to get rid of Vanek. I'd practically give him up for free, that is if you don't count the insane contract he's got.
01/26/2010 11:41PM
Anze Kopitar or Frolov
Trade Vanek, stafford and a pick for one of these guys. The kings would bite they have the worst management in the league and Buffalo would benefit alot from this with cap space and playoff contention.
01/27/2010 3:45AM
RE:RE: RE: PP QB
So the Sabres are ranked 15th in pp, please explain the Pens 26th ranking with Gonchar, Crosby and Malkin...idiot!
01/27/2010 11:43PM
Dion Phaneuf
The Calgary Flames have over 22 mil as a cap hit locked-up in defensemen. You know they are just itching to shed some of that and bring up Matt Pellech to take the place of any expensive D-man they lose. No doubt they also are looking to get some scoring up front. Drew Stafford, 1st round pick, 3rd round pick and Mark Mancari for Dion Phaneuf. Its going to be expensive to get a big D-man, but it takes care of the Sabres' need for a leader on the powerplay.
02/01/2010 3:11PM
scenario #2
I like this trade, stafford is a ghost most of the time. Also, trade Lydman for a pick and theres your cap room. pull the trigger Nick;)
