I was just worried they were so frustrated at how Jeremy Jacobs doesn't spend any money that they decided to go play in the Kazakhstani Championship League
 
yes I know the Jacobs being cheap line is ancient history and had nothing to do with this negotiation.

So looking at ~$3.5 into Savard's $4 million LTIR. Probably looking to move around that number, maybe a little less.

Lets not all post about this at once.
 
Great signings though.  They can get paid next year.  We're looking at a downgrade(?) from Iginla to Healty Eriksson, An upgrade from Thornton to pretty much any callup, and everyone with a year more experience.

Good to have them in with at least a week to figure out where all the pieces fit.  This is probably the most roster uncertainty we've had around here in the last 5-6 years unless I'm forgetting something.  Going to be interesting to see what kinds of things they try out in the first 4-6 weeks of the season.

Per the B's twitter, both are on the ice RIGHT NOW for today's practice. 
 
Also, have seen a few reports that Campbell might not be ready to start the season (as he has not practiced or played yet), so the B's will probably have 4 spots (3+backup) to fill with callup talent.

Fraser, Warsofsky, and Cunningham, appear to the be people that are waiver-eligible and possible claims.  Seems like Fraser might be kept because of A) his performance in the playoffs last year, B) His performance so far in the Preseason and C) the fact that he's waiver eligible.
