#1 - Send Brian Campbell and a mix of draft picks and a prospect to the Islanders for nothing (future considerations). The Islanders have 29 million in cap space and still have not hit the cap floor yet. I have said before that Campbell is untradable but adding in some of our surplus of picks and a decent prospect would make him movable. Being he has a limited NTC I would give him the option to play with the Islanders or play his contract out in europe, basically forcing him to play ball.
#2 - Sign Teemu Selanne who is still a point a game player at 40 years old who gives our power play depth and is still an asset on a scoring line. 1 year deal at 2 million. He can sit half the season to stay healthy and make sure he is 100% for the post season.
#3 - If Niemi can be had at 2.75-3 million I would resign him, if not I would contact Turco and see what he is commanding.
Sure giving away draft picks, a good puck moving defensemen, and a good prospect for nothing seems dumb. Look at it long term, that Campbell contract is going to haunt the team for years to come and I would be willing to do anything in my power to get rid of it. Doing so would ensure Patrick Sharp stays on the team as well Brent Seabrook would get an extension. Also moving forward without Campbell, Huet, and the 4 million dollar hit this season we could be potential buyers next off season as well.
