This is such an odd feeling.... we got probably 3 of the (of not the) biggest names in UFA and now we are having to contemplate how to become cap compliant. Strange times indeed
Trotz probably won't lose toooooo much sleep over the Cap situation... as long as he can lock up Parssinen and Stastney at league minimum salary, he can get away with waiving Glass and Tomasino and running a short 21-man roster. Losing Tomasino for nothing isn't much worse than what I'm already expecting, alas.
In the off chance somebody did claim Glass, he'd have enough room to keep Tomasino, however, so I really think they should get on with waiving Glass. Nobody is going to trade for him. It's not going to get easier to trade him as time goes by and teams sign their last few lingering free agents.
