In a paper move under the complex NHL salary cap rules — which are about 10 times more complicated than the NFL version — Neighbours and Leivo were “sent down” on Monday, which was the deadline to become cap compliant and send in the initial roster for the regular season. After placing defensemen Marco Scandella (hip) and Scott Perunovich (shoulder), plus forward Anthony Angello (concussion) on various forms of injured reserve, the Blues had the money to recall Neighbours and Leivo. According to PuckPedia, the Blues have $1.66 million in space after all that cap-dancing. According to what has transpired on the ice in Charleston, that leaves the Blues with the following lineup at forward for Saturday’s season opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Enterprise Center: [HEADING=1]Help wanted?[/HEADING] If those are indeed the lines, Logan Brown and Alexey Toropchenko would be the extras at forward. But after a sizzling start in the preseason — four goals and one assist in three games — Brown hasn’t played since Oct. 1 because of what looks like a left shoulder injury. Brown has been on and off the ice for practice recently. He left early in Monday’s practice here and did return, and he did not practice Tuesday. His status for the season opener appears very much in doubt. [/QUOTE]
