For me personally I would go a bit further and consider flipping Colborne for a pick or young player in the off-season. I don't think he fits here long-term and isn't going to be a guy that helps this team get over the hump and become a contender.
D Jones I would like to see bought out. I know, salary floor. I hope the new GM can weave some creative magic and pick up a good player on a salary dump like Tallon did with Brian Campbell.

There's absolutely no harm in leaving Granlund, Reinhart, and Hanowski in the AHL next season - ditto with Arnold, Gaudreau, Agostino and others. Let them continue to develop their games, and have them come up when they're over-ripe.
