I'm sure that many of us would like to see Engelland, Raymond, Smid, & Wideman moved a.s.a.p.

Unfortunately, their contracts make them near impossible to trade and the team has a "no retaining salary" policy.

They might buyout one or two of them, but that's just adding to long term pain.

There will only be Cap Space to re-sign JH & SM plus add a #1 Goalie next season.

We'll have to wait until 2017/2018 to address the #1 RW position.
