So. Let's say that this team really IS in for the long rebuild. Cool.
Hey! Look! Ottawa is thinking of buying out Cheechoo's contract! I guess that looks kinda like so (feel free to check my math):
JONATHAN CHEECHOO
Salary: $3.5 million
Cap hit: $3.0 million
Buyout: $1,155,000 or $577,500 per year in budget costs
2010-2011: $ 77,500
2011-2012: $577,500
Hrmmm... ain't that a coincidence... the Oilers are looking/rumored to be buying out Nilsson and/or O'Sullivan...
ROBERT NILSSON BUYOUT FROM CAPGEEK.COM
2010-2011: $-83,333 ($416,667 in budget costs)
2011-2012: $416,667 ($416,667 in budget costs)
PATRICK O'SULLIVAN BUYOUT FROM CAPGEEK.COM
2010-2011: $935,417 ($397,917 in budget costs)
2011-2012: $397,917 ($397,917 in budget costs)
Gee, what kind of draft pick would Ottawa give up to save approximately $323,000 in budget costs and somewhere from to $238,000 to $321,000 in Cap hits (think Nilsson)?
Guess we'll never know.
------
Edit to add: If Tambellini really did have a Penner & Gilbert for the TO 1st on the table (per Dupont at the Boston Globe)... and Chiarelli couldn't get that to go... then they are both idiots. Tambs for offering and Chiarelli for not closing. Just a stupid, stupid deal to even offer!
------
Have a great evening everyone.

If I were to guess, I'd say none.
I would say no worse than a 7th and if the team was Cap stetched like Philly was this year then a 5th isn't out of the question.
For Ottawa a lot of it comes down to what happen with Volchenkov and the Sutton/Cullen money.
