The trading has begun -- discuss, and I'll put some thoughts together on this tonight.

Kunitz is signed to a contract that last three more years for a cap hit of $3.725 M; Whitney is on a contract that lasts four more years for a cap hit of $4 M.  Tangradi is a throw-in prospect, assumedly.

And suddenly, next year's blueline looks a little more filled.
