Players that remain:

Berra. - should be in the AHL
Bouma. - recent AHLer
Breen. - AHLer
Brodie. - recent AHLer
Colborne - recent AHLer
Galiardi. - recently flipped for a depth pick
Giordano - definitely an NHLer
Glencross - definitely an NHLer
Hudler. - definitely an NHLer
B Jones. - AHLer
D Jones. - definitely an NHLer
Knight. - AHLer
McGrattan - yeah
Monahan. - should be in AHL
Reinhart. - AHLer
Ramo. - recent KHLer
Russel. - recently flipped for depth pick
Smid. - definitely an NHLer
Smith. - recent AHLer
Wotherspoon - AHLer


That's 14 guys who are either rookies, minor leaguers, or have very recently been minor leaguers (not counting the lockout), 2 guys who were flipped by their teams for depth picks (ie throwaways), and 4 established vets.

That would be horrific.
Ya, with that kind of roster, we'd look like a rebuilding team who was close to the bottom of the league in position to get a lottery pick and have a bunch of prospects. Instead we should shoot for 9th place and maybe pick up more vets
