There's no way Irving will reach the minimum number of NHL games played to maintain RFA status, so he'll become a UFA too.
Next year, they need to find spaces for Granlund and Ferland, which should help the offence. I'd say there's a good chance Bill Arnold will turn pro this summer, and a lesser chance Gaudreau will.
On the back-end, Wotherspoon and Ramage should be making the jump.
If Ortio is still in any plans on this side of the Atlantic, they need him playing in Abbotsford next year. I think Brossoit can play another year as an overager, but the Oil Kings might want to hand the reins to Jarry.
