I have little doubt Tre and Burke will make the UFA for draft pick/prospect moves required to keep the rebuild moving forward. Every interview they consistently speak of patience and realism with this current team. My only fear is that some of our key UFAs are losing value with this regression season. An extra 1st rounder and 2nd rounder seems likely (Hudler/Russell).

You are exactly right about a gap we need to fill before Gillies/McDonald are ready. Looks like we will be looking for a UFA goalie come July 1 once Ramo and Hiller contracts expire. Would still like to see what we really have in Ortio but not sure how much he is going to being a chance. He must not be impressing in practice.

Onward and upward...
