That needs to be a priority again. I think Hudler was a start - but they need more guys that are coming from winning organizations.

Stephen Yelle in particular has never really been replaced on this team.
I know he hasn't been with a winning organization, but I think Eric Nystrom should be a target. I will admit I didn't want him back if he made more than a million when he left so when he signed for 1.4 I said good riddance, but quite frankly we have never been able to replace him. Other than him being a winger I think he is the closest to Yelle we have had since Sandbox retired.
