I can't imagine it being anything else. Let's look at the facts:
1) He's been one of the most productive players on D.
2) He's very flexible in that he's also a ST ace.
3) He knows the system, with 5 years in it.
4) He signed with the Pats with the biggest hometown discount possible - - the vet minimum.
5) Cutting him and not re-signing him leaves even that small amount (620k) as unusable spent money - - the Pats would still have to pay him.
6) When told of the cut over the Sirius phone interview yesterday, he sounded non-plussed and continued talking about the team as he had earlier.
and finally:
7) Eric Alexander (Eric freakin' Alexander!) is still on the team at the same salary.
