Onwards & up-... err... Downwards.

For me, the only people that should be untouchable are our high end prospects, Monahan, Giordano, Brodie, Russell (only because we just signed him) and Backlund.
Everyone else, if the price is right, have a nice flight. Keep some vets, but not all of them. Hypothetically, if you are offered the equivalent of 2 firsts for Hudler, but only the equivalent of 2 2nds for Cammalleri, we might be better off moving Hudler and signing Cammy as they fill the same role on this team.
Next year, we are going to have a hard time with finding roster spots for guys like Granlund, Knight, Reinhart, Baertschi, Gaudreau, 1st round pick, etc. Some guys are going to have to go, especially up front.
