I consider our veteran talent to be Gio, Cammalleri, Glencross, Stajan, Hudler and Wideman.
- Gio and Stajan are here for the long term.
- Cammalleri might be gone, but IMO if he goes, it is more likely we keep Hudler
- Glencross might be shipped out at the deadine, but even so, he played less than half a season due to injuries
- Wideman played around half a season and was less than 100% for many games he dressed for.
Next season, we'll probably get as many games out of Gio, Stajan, Hudler, Wideman and Glencross (even if traded at the deadline) as we got out of Gio, Cammalleri, Stajan, Hudler, Wideman and Glencross in 2013-2014.
I don't think less veteran talent will be a problem next year.
