They need to find a way to at least get one of Kapanen or Soshinikov into lineup full time. They are both excellent forecheckers and can play valuable pk minutes. Yes, you will argue that Moore and Marleau will do the same, but i see youthfulness as an asset in providing a more effective and relentless forecheck.
Why does this automatically mean jvr is gone? Are trams only allowed to have 1 talented lw at a time?
I guess I just like jvr and I'm not as high in Leivo, soshnikov or kapanen as top line forwards.

I havent seen this mentioned but he has a full no-trade clause. That means that despite the salary structure, it may be undumpable... although the salary has to be like that for a reason ...
