from Mike Chen at Fox Sports,
Let’s take a quick look at who still has to make some moves before the season starts.
San Jose — The Sharks just inched over the cap because of two major blueline additions: Rob Blake and Dan Boyle. Boyle’s in for the long haul, but Blake is essentially a defensive mercenary, coming in at one year for $5 million to provide insurance on the San Jose power play. This pushes the Sharks just over the cap (combined with RFA signings for Christian Ehrhoff, Ryane Clowe and Joe Pavelski), and part of this was offset by the trading of Craig Rivet. Who’s left to cut? Look for GM Doug Wilson to beg anyone in the league to take defenseman Kyle McLaren and his $2.5 million cap hit.
more teams that need to trim salary.

completely off-topic, and random, but…
does anyone else think that, if the NHL expanded again, they could forgo an expansion draft? i simply cannot believe the amount of (admittedly overpaid) talent that teams are willing simply to throw away in buyouts and salary dumps. i reckon any halfway competent gm could proably build a playoff contender in 2 or 3 years just based on other teams’ castoffs and a few talented rookies (especially with the run of drafts we’re having at the moment).
