I see the lineup at the beginning of the year looking something like:
Glencross/Cammalleri-Monahan-Colborne
Byron-Backlund-Hudler/Glencross
Bouma-Stajan-Jones
UFA/Agostino/Reinhart-Knight-McGrattan
One of Cammy and Hudler is likely gone. If one of Glencross (trade) or Jones (buyout) leaves, likely a UFA signing would replace them.
Clearly, the turnover from
right now isn't huge, but there would be a few new faces compared to the beginning of the year, as well as huge changes in the role certain players would be playing.
My dream lineup for the middle/end of next season would be:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Colborne
Byron-Backlund-remaining of Cammy/Hudler/Glencross
Granlund-Stajan-Reinhart
Agostino-Knight-McGrattan
Defense looks like not much is going to change. Shipping Wideman out for a reasonable return would be welcome. I'm pretty neutral on re-signing Butler for another year. Wotherspoon could be the first callup, or maybe even the #6 guy to start the year if he has a great camp.
