Default Who's in / who's out?

I'm bored and feel like typing a lot so here's a new thread:
For our rebuild, say the next few years, who should be in, who should be out and why:
Here's my take:

D:
- Gio IN - obviously
- Brodie IN - young and improving
- Russell IN - has sputtered a bit lately (playing with Butler) but I think he can be part of the future
- Wideman OUT - think his career is winding down
- Smid IN - tough guy can stay as 5th
- Butler IN - tough call on this one but he can stay as the 6th
- Wotherspoon IN - so far so good for a young defensive defenseman

G:
- Ramo IN - seems to be good enough until we can see if Ortio or Gillies emerges
- Ortio IN - off to a decent start, can be backup and challenge for #1 until Gillies comes around
- Macdonald OUT

F:
- Backlund IN, this guy gets better and better, going to be a big piece
- Monahan IN
- David Jones OUT, his role should be easily replaced
- Galiardi OUT, same as above, showing some speed lately but we have lots of fast guys coming up
- Westgarth OUT, blah
- Mcgrattan IN, great team guy, need one beast
- Cammallerri OUT but maybe sign him to a one or two year contract and try the trade deadline trade again
- Bouma IN, a young Yelle, love this guy
- Byron IN, i'm scared he might become awesome if we ditch him.. don't want to keep too many small guys though with Gaudreau coming up
- Hudler OUT, get something good in a trade for him
- Glencross IN, seems to be coming around + NTC
- Stajan IN
- Colborne IN, I think this guy has great potential too

That's 8 forwards I've kept.. Room for 4 for acquisitions and players like Granlund, Baertschi, Knight, Reinhart..

Seems like I've kept most of our D which might be a little concerning I suppose but the defense has really been coming along lately..

Oh and Hartley IN.

Interested in other takes..
