$2M cap hit. John LeClair much?

Actually, I bet he clears and then someone snags him on re-entry.

Carolina or Philly?

I just don't see him landing anywhere else.

Veteran leadership? Apparently many GM's around the league (*cough Lombardi *cough) are still under the guise that a team of young players need someone old, slow and way OVERPAID to tell them how great it used to be in the old days...

Sure, but 26 games ago they had to have this guy on their team, and now they want to give him away in a crackerjack box?

I'd put Rob Blake and his salary in a Crackerjack box.

I don't think that they would put Recchi, who is old and losing steam when it comes to scoring points, but has been a professional through this if they didn't think that there was definitely a team that would pick him up.

rumor has it, he's cleared and ready fro re-entry.

according to ESPN's Power Rankings...

Is there a correlation to be made for the Penguins' 4-1-0 run and Mark Recchi out of the lineup?

that is exactly why you don't ever wanna see him coming to Los Angeles.
