What I would like to see.

Cammalleri traded at draft for a lower line/salary guy and a pick/prospect of some sort. Somewhat like the Langkow for Stempniak trade, but with a better return.

If possible, trade Tanguay as well even if the return is nominal just to get him off the team. He's not a player that I would like the kids learning from.

Tim Jackman traded for a 7th or equivalent nobody.

Cory Sarich traded for as good of a pick as you can get.

Cervenka re-signed to a 1 year 1.75 million dollar contract
Backlund re-signed to a 2 year 4 million dollar contract - 2 per
McGratton re-signed to a 2 year 1.25 million dollar contract - .6125 per
Paul Byron re-signed to a 1 year 750K contract - 2 way
TJ Brodie re-signed to a 3 year 6.75 million dollar contract - 2.25 per

Let Chris Butler and the UFA's walk.

If Kipper retires, re-sign Joey Mac or find another UFA backup goalie. Doesn't really matter much.

Go after young UFA's

Guys like Bobby Sanguinetti (D), Guillaume Latendresse (LW), Grant Clitsome (D), Kyle Chipchura (C), Bryan Bickell (LW),
Victor Stalberg (LW), Tyler Bozak (C), Ian White (D), Valterri Filppula (C)

Even if we overpay any of these players on 3 year contracts to be place filler types, it would be alright.

I would keep all of the young guys in their junior leagues that we draft. Even if we draft Drouin, McKinnon, Jones, or Barkov. Our roster is still a mess, and I'd rather have as complete of a culture change as possible before bringing up any of the kids, as well, as it's better for them to dominate their leagues instead of getting rushed to the NHL.
