Yeah, Pascal Dupuis, damn overpaid 3rd line winger or really, really, really overpaid 4th line player. Yay. Although depending on the savings I wouldn't be opposed to moving Scuderi and bringing someone else in, or just toughing it with the youth. Thank god Shero gave them those NTC's and extra year.
There's still the buyout or retaining salary options, it's not appealing but it might work. Trade Scuderi and buyout (or Pronger) Dupuis, a rising cap could make it tolerable if they could lock down a good top 9.
No. I don't like the price for Iginla and I don't want current Iginla, and I don't like the term for a winger solution. If someone gets 5M then it better be a winger they'll have for years who is better rounded.
