With the recent trade of PM Bouchard for Mike Cammerelli the team has cut the cap required to be under the cap for the start of the season.

The teams G.M had this too say about the recent trade of Bouchard, "Pm was going to be a great player for us but with the team landing one of the premier UFA's avaible the team had to find a spot they could cut cap on.. Getting Mike to replace PM is a very good swap for us Mike will play top 6 just like PM was going to.. With Eddy providing amazing offense from the back end we expect his PA to make up what we lost in getting more of a scoring forward in cammerelli, With Mike's spot nhl playing with Iginla we expect huge things from him this year nhl."

Coach Mike Bab**** was interviewed in his office and had this to say, " Sitting here looking at it to start preseason it looks like we will have these lines.
