Barker Signs, Too
Per TSN.ca, Cam Barker gets a new deal worth $9.25 million over three years. That leaves only Kris Versteeg as the last man standing on the RFA/UFA island.
Plenty more on that later this evening.

A little rich, but I think a good move.
What do the Hawks look cap-wise now – and I have a few ideas for Dale on some moves he can make to get some relief. Now, if only the other GM’s would play along…

I think Barker is gonna get moved. If we don’t sign Steeg it is now or never for Skille. I think Trade candidates are still Buff, Barker, Brouwer, Sharp (hate to see it) and maybe Campbell and Huet. If Steeg is signed I think he is a candidate too.
Remember Madden is on a 1 yr deal so that mone will be available for one of the big three. My guess Toews is the highest priority.

Have heard that Nabokov might be available (SJ would be silly to move him but I think they blame their early playoff exits on him). He and Huet have very similar cap hits so I would propose Huet and a 2nd rounder (or Skille) for Nabokov.
Best thing about Nabokov, he has one year left on his deal, freeing up room for the Big Three.
Oh, and I think that Versteeg will be moved too – want him to stay but I don’t think there’s enough room on the team or with the cap to keep him.
