I've read that the salary cap is likely to come down some in each of the next two years due to the economy, from the current 2008 figure of $58.68 million to $57+ million in 2009 and possibly as low as $55 or even $54 million in 2010.
To me that looks like even if we let Ray walk after next season we won't have much to spend. If this is right, doesn't it make it more likely that we will trade him while we can?
