Now that the playoffs are now over, GM's have all had an opportunity to reflect on the 2013-14 season. There were highs and lows for everyone but as the offseason kicks into high gear, let's hear what your offseason philosophy is for your team. Not only will this be a good excersize for all GM's but it will also let other GM's know what you are trying to do which can ultimately directly impact potential trades.

I'll go first:

No one I ever untouchable in Columbus, that being said, we do have a plan and a vision for this team.

We are looking to shed some salary so that we will be in a good position for free agency. We will be happy to build around Patrice Bergeron and Ryan Miller moving forward. We are excited to be adding 6 top prospects to our ECHL following the draft and we don't anticipate moving them as we look toward the future. I have drafted high before and always trade the picks and usually regret it. We are going to try and focus a little more on selecting and developing bluechip prospects.

We are always looking to deal but we are also always looking to compete.

Now, who's next?
