And I will bump my point that the Predators are in the best position to win now - this was their year to go to for it. In the salary cap era, you cannot sit on your hands like Brian Burke is out in Anaheim - you MUST make moves when your team is a contender, or risk ending a winning cycle without the Stanley Cup. The Senators are in danger of this as well, and the Sabres too, though to a lesser extent.

Do me a favor, get a clue before you open your mouth. We have/had several key players out with injury. We made the move for Zubrus, which has been huge. Max and Connelly are both back now. Connelly is/was a gamble that had to be taken. He was argueably our best offensive player last year in the playoffs before going out with injury. Not securing a roster spot for him would've been suicide. We are running 4 amazing lines in the playoffs and I challenge any team to match us in the depth dept.

He was talking about salary cap problems. Ottawa lost Chara because of no cap space, and Buffalo is going to lose at least one of Drury / Briere this summer, if not both, because of the cap. Buffalo will not be as good next year as they are now. They have to win this year.
