Advisable first step from here?

Call COL and offer anything that doesn't involve Sven/Brodie/1st for ROR, and pray they latch onto something.

Next step: Call up Breen and trade out one or (if possible) two of Butler/Sarich/Babchuk

Next step: Trade off remaining core players not named Giordano for all the 1sts and 2nds you can get at the deadline.

Next step (April) Get Johnny Hockey on his NHL deal, and call him up for the last few weeks of meaningless games to get his feet wet. Have him and Sven or Backlund playing together and let that chemistry form prior to next season.

Next step: Recall Karri Ramo from the KHL as soon as Omsk is done. Give him the remaining games until the season is over.

Next step: Sign Cervenka.

Next step: Draft in the top 5-10, acquire a 1st line quality center. Get him to play with our other young guys in the fall with top 9 minutes.

Next step: Pat yourselves on the back for finally doing a good thing for your fans.
