It is nice to see Russell getting the votes. Deserves it. I only voted for Two UFAs. Cammy and Russell. Reason for Cammy is, if the HAVE to re-sign one of the forwards I'd hope the only option would be Cammy.
RFA's are a different story. I can see Byron being dealt by the dealine in a package. He's earned some trade value this season with his efforts. But I do not see him being a part of Burkes vision. Bouma, Hanowski, Colborne should all be signed. As well as Ortio. But he may ask for a one way which could complicate matters. Just speculation on my part really but with the way he has played in the AHL this season, it can be argued that he has earned the right to ask for a one way deal and be back up. The rest of the RFA's I'm indifferent. Galiardi may get one more one year deal to see if he can get better, but thats a stretch given his play this year.
