... SOOOOO if the netminder signs for $5 a year, Scott Hartnell might end up being a salary dump and Ville Leino, Sean O'Donnell and Carcillo will all be lost to free agency. Obviously, S.O.D. and Carcillo won't be a big deal. And hell, I wouldn't care much about Bird-Dogg leaving, either. But Leino... Well at age 27 he's another story. A talent like his would be pretty crappy to lose, but them's the breaks in an NHL salary cap age.
The two sides have until July 1st to come to an agreement. If not he becomes another Dan Hamhuis and goes into free agency. Should be an interesting next few weeks.
