Can we trade him?

Are 'we' cap strapped becuase of his (Briere) contract
- It's not helping!
Sure...Richards, Briere, Carter >>> Richards, Carter Metro as a top three. I'm talking dollars here though.
Also, have we really missed him? Sure he helps...but he's not necessary at this point in the game. Just my opinion.

No, not going to trade Richards or Carter obvously but I will trade Lupul, I will trade Jones and I will let Alberts and Knuble go after this year. 6.5 cap hit for someone the caliber of Briere is not a lot (I bet NY would trade Gomez for him right now) and until Giroux, JVR, potentially Nodl are all a couple years into their careers and true top 6 scorers, we need Briere.
Lets use NJ as an example....We play them in the playoffs and Holik does a great job on Carter and Madden does a great job on Richards.....You still have Briere than can carry you. Lets say Madden stops Briere and Holik stops Richards...you still have Carter.
See the point.
