We will still be rebuilding next season and the UFA crop is very weak, so I would go with what we have. We could keep 8 defensemen up like we did this season and re-sign all of Breen, Cundari, Butler & Brodie and run with:
Brodie - Giordano
Butler - Wideman
Cundari/Breen - Sarich/Smith
The if Breen or Cundari have a bad camp they can start the year in Abbotsford. I am also not against trying to sneak Smith down to Abbotsford on waivers as they could really use a top pairing AHL defensemen next year of they don't have Breen or Cundari.
