K i'm gunna go ahead and say that I have for sure been on board the trade cheechoo, picard and kuba bandwagon, but I saw an intersting post elsehwere considering kuba that has kind of got me thinking we need to jump off the trading kuba bandwagon.
Quote:
These are 29 of the 45 D-men who currently have higher cap hits than Filip Kuba's $3.7M.
A number of them make more and couldn't hold his jock.
Another good chunk make more and aren't any better.
Many near the top aren't worth anywhere near there salaries if $3.7M is a fair price for Kuba.

This is the reality of free agency. IMO, if we try to replace Kuba... there's a pretty good chance we'll end up with somebody at the same level who makes more money.

Should we be thinking twice about trading kuba??
