Yeah im with Kip on this one - id be shocked if stevie re-signed Chia. As much as Ive been one of the few who has appreciated him, hes old and will have served his purpose after this year. I guess theres a chance he could get a Hamonic type deal if he wants to stay, but I would expect a 1 year and cheap. Unless SY is a total fraud, he will spend his pocket book next summer on a new 2nd pair Dman to play with ASP. I also highly doubt JTC will even be considered for waivers... he had a down year last year on the score sheet, but he's still a heavily leaned on player who plays in all situations, in any forward position, and takes right hand faceoffs. He'll have EVERY chance to make this a bounce back year. However, i did like Todds recent comments on his depth centers... forget what the exact question was, but he basically said if his depth centers (i take this to mean Copp, JTC, and Ras) want to sit back and play a "cerebral" "read" game they will not find themselves at center... AKA he wants centers that engage and muck, and thats his expectation for those two/three. I like this. Time to turn up the heat. Time to become panthers-esque squad or u will find urself at bottom 6 wing...
