I think he will end up with it, however.<BR/><BR/>By the way, did anyone watch the bit on him on the cbj website? The things he described about both of the teams he went to finals were very similar to what I think we have in Columbus. They worked hard, on paper didn't have any business being where they got to, etc. <BR/><BR/>Arrrrrgh!

Jackets were close to signing him to less than what they did, then Finger's contract came out, thus upping the price of Commodore. In the end, he costs what he costs, and I am happy to have him. <BR/><BR/>erik-as far as I know, Vermette did a lot of 3rd line duty. Silly to get rid of the guy, but if he wants out there isn't much you can do about it. A trade between Vancouver and the Sens (forward for a d) makes sense since Van has plenty of d men. It would be a good fit for both teams, imo.<BR/><BR/>We need to get Hartigan back!

Most recently, the word coming from out west has Vermette heading to Vancouver for former Senators blueliner Sami Salo.<BR/>The brittle Fin hasn't played more than 67 games in any one of the the last three seasons, but even at that Salo has averaged in excess of 30 points per - a claim no signed member of the Ottawa defence can make.<BR/>The Senators are in desperate need of a point producer who plays the point, which is why they'd likely jump at the chance to take on the salary of either Bieska ($3.75 million) or Salo ($3.5 million) when the guess is Vermette is likely to walk away from the arbitrator (if he makes it that far) with a salary in the $2.5-3 million range.<BR/>Problem is, if the Senators do move Vermette, exactly who are they going to be relying on for second line scoring?<BR/>With or without Vermette, it's hard to imagine new coach Craig Hartsburg keeping the Pizza Line (Daniel Alfredsson-Jason Spezza-Dany Heatley) together other than on power plays and end-of-game situations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942323299745921789.post-44209389782778550762008-07-23T14:44:00.000-04:002008-07-23T14:44:00.000-04:00I think Commodore and Tyutin will be solid players...I think Commodore and Tyutin will be solid players, and if Klesla and Hedja continue their solid play we should be really solid in the back..
