The good players are all that matter, if they lose Jason LaBarerra and Eric Belanger nobody is really going to care much (and for good reason). If, for example, they lose Bryz, I simply see no easy way of replacing him and frankly, just losing him alone makes them a non playoff team rather easily. If they lose Turris or Boedker as RFA's, even with compensation they'd recieve in the form of draft picks, it would set the team back years. They currently have no goaltenders signed for next season and have 2 defencemen (Derek Morris and R. Klesla!!!) signed past next season.
Add all of this to the "rumour" that the team captain, best player and only one that has every played in Winnipeg on the current roster does not want to go back, and you got a heap of problems if you ask me.
