The RFAs are Kruger, Saad, Rundblad...of the 3 Rundblad ($.6million) is completely expendable and replaceable...Kruger, at a Current $1.35million is a little expensive for a utility/4th line guy, I could see the 'Hawks walking away from those 2...UFAs: Rozival, Caricillo. Richards, gone for sure, freeing $4.8million, Oduya and Regin, both replaceable with guys from the Rock, another $3.9million freed.
Saad will be the hardest to get re-signed, especially if he gets an offer sheet. But, I don't think that it will be as dire as some believe.
