Saku Koivu
Chirs Higgins
Michael Ryder
Andrei Kostitisyn
MIKHAIL GRABOVSKI
Alex Kovalev
Bryan Smolinski
Tomas Plekanec
Guillaume Latendresse
Kyle Chipchura
Tom Kostopoulos
Steve Begin
MATHIEU DANDENAULT
JOSH GORGES
Andrei Markov
Mike Komisarek
Patrice Brisebois
Roman Hamrlik
Francis Bouillon
Mark Streit
Cristobal Huet
and
CAREY PRICE!!!!
Those who were cut were Ryan O’Byrne, due to his two-way contract. MAXIM LAPIERRE, a fan favorite who was not putting in effort. Jaroslav Halak who will almost certainly be traded.
When i read this I was quite surprised in Grabovski and Dandenault sticking around. Dandenault will most likely be playing forward. The following lines are my own, although based on those from the Gazette’s release which I posted a week ago.
Higgins-Koivu-Ryder
Kostitsyn-Grabovski-Kovalev
Smolinski-Plekanec-Latendresse
Begin-Chipchura-Kostopoulos/Dandenault/Murray
Markov-Komisarek
Hamrlik-Brisebois
Streit-Bouillon/Gorges/Dandenault
