Plus see what you have in Aliu, Breen, Byron, Horak, Reinhart, Street, Granlund, Arnold, DeBlouw, Culkin, Ferland, Gordon, Kulak, Sieloff, and Wotherspoon.

Now add whatever prospects you acquire from trade and in the draft for trading anyone else you can and you should have a solid start in turning this around.
All good points, the idea of holding on to the bolded guys has merit, problem is if we don't trade them and they don't want to stay. That's when we become the laughing stock of the league. I agree about the RFA's and hopefully our current prospects can develop into much more than we've gotten over the past decade. Think about how nobody wanted to play for the Islanders for so long, that situation where players are asking to leave isn't too far from where we currently stand.
