Its not too surprising these two are on the block. They dont fit in. Especially when we are fully healthy we have too many players.

Glencross-Stajan-Jones
Cammalleri-Colborne-Stempniak
Baertschi-Monahan-Hudler
Bouma-Backlund-Galiardi
Jones/Mcgrattan

Brodie-Gio
Russell-Wideman
Smid-Butler
O'Brien
Breen
Smith

Thats two players that need to be moved. All these players need to pass through waivers and/or are already established on the team.

Smith can be sent down without much worry but Breen probably wont pass through and I think B. Jones stays the year..

I can see a scenario in which we trade both Backlund and O'Brien for 1 player and send Smith down...
