- Breen (waivers, come back in a year or two and see if improved)
Undecided:
- Byron (has been dang good lately but super small, need room for Gaudreau)
- Hartley (has the team playing with good effort but seems to mismanage some of the younger players and make questionable lineup decisions)
- Wideman
- Smith
- Mcgrattan (would prefer Ferland)
Who'd I forget?
Bring up the young guys already and drop the dead weight.

I'd agree with most of this. I think Wideman's expendable; not dump him per se, but I'm certain there is a team in the league that could use a PP QB with a booming shot. He also has developed a decent defensive game in Calgary... Honestly he's not bad at all; we just truly don't need anymore 3-5 guys here... we already have about 5 of them.
I would say keep Big Ern. He's a leader off the ice and a guy who sets the tone. The commentators continuously say how much his boys love him; and what he means to this club. I'd be all for giving him more 4th line time. In addition, Ferland isn't a pure a goon. I think he can top out as a 2nd line power forward, but most likely a third line, hard on the body; but still puts up some numbers type guy.
I agree with Byron. I really like him as of late... That speed is awesome and I have truly enjoyed him on the PK. Saying that... Sven and JG alone would clog up some spots on the roster... and both of them are on the small side; I don't think there's a ton of room for little guys in this Burke system.
