No cap space for Kaberle, despite everyone's insisting to the contrary.

Interesting thought about using a forward for the point on the PP. Samuelsson's not too shabby defensively either.

Bieksa would be in the trade for Kaberle (among other things: Schnieder + White). Bieksa seems like a "Burke type" player.

"Sammy's one of these guys that's a way better player than he believes," Babcock said. "If he had the confidence in himself that some of these other guys do, he'd be a high-end NHL player. Right now, he's just a good NHL player."

Quote

"He's good offensively, good defensively," Babcock said. "He has a rocket of a shot, we're always on him to shoot the puck more. He's a huge man, absolutely a monster, so he can be real physical when he wants to be. He can really skate."

Quote

Samuelsson's main job is to shoot the puck, and teammates have confidence in his ability.

Quote

"He's so strong, he's kind of like Hoss (Marian Hossa), he doesn't need the big windup," Kirk Maltby said. "When he needs to get it off quick, he can get it off quick and hard and accurate. Sometimes, it's not about how hard you put it in there. Sometimes, he gets it into the right spot at the right time and the puck will have eyes and find its way in."

Quote

"He's very strong on the puck, he holds onto the puck and is very confident he's going to make the play," Draper said. "When he has an opportunity to shoot inside the hash marks, he can shoot it."

Well, since there's a thread on nearly every UFA available, sooner or later, we're bound to get one right.

It's called the Eklund factor.
