Giordano - Brodie

Sarich

Kiprusoff
Ramo

Notes: Horton is an overpayment, but since I don't expect us to be very competitive we can try to pay him like a first line forward so that his line can take on the top defensive pairings of other teams and let our younger guys develop a little more comfortably.

Trades are tough, so don't put much stock into the suggested returns. Those are some of the guys that I would try to trade though.

Regehr's best days are behind him, but our defence is just so soft. He's only 32, but I doubt LA will re-sign him and he didn't leave on bad terms. We need leadership and it seems that he is the type of guy who tries to bring defensive accountability to teammates.

If Kipper retires, I would give the two Euro goalies a shot and keep Danny Taylor on in the AHL.
