Wow, another 1st pick

They should buy him out, Katz has lots of cash.
I was shocked by the Hemsky signing. At least a million a year to much.
I think he could have been signed for 3.5 to 4 million.

As for Horcoff, he may become tradeable in the last 2 years of his contract. Although his cap hit remains at $5.5M, his actual salary drops to $4M and then $3M. A non-cap team might be interested. His salary is still $6M next year though, so he won't be going anywhere soon.

I agree that Hemsky was signed for too much, but it is only for 2 more years, so only Hall's and Eberle's new contracts will be in effect by then.
