None of our potential UFA's provide anything that can't be replaced in the summer. We aren't good with these guys, trade them and if they are that important to the team they can be re-signed in the off season

I actually think Stempniak should be kept. You're right, hes not a ton better than some options in terms of talent or leadership, but I think hes the perfect type of steadying influence bit-part player that a rebuilding team needs.
