This line of thinking is why the oilers are in such a dismal situation. Your young players have to outplay the veterans and make them redundant.
Personally, the only moves I want to see the team are moves where we take advantage of our salary cap room.

Why are people forgetting that there is also a UFA and trade market. Even if the flames trade Cammi, Stempniak, and Stajan, i highly doubt that they are going to leave those spots open for youngsters for the following season. Maybe they will leave one spot open but the rest will be filled by other veteran players.
