-If Edmonton happens to grab an actual good D man this summer they will have to expose them or one of Klefblom or Nurse. Never mind, they won't get a good D man ever.
-Minnesota has to protect Pominville
-NYI has to protect 4 d (assuming they replace Hamonic with another D)
-PIT Fleury or Murray?
-if Tampa keeps stamkos they will be tight upfront, probably having to expose some good prospects
-TOR...Horton!,
-WPG has to protect 4 D, exposing some great young prospects
this summer looks to be interesting from a fan's perspective...I suspect we will see some surprise buyouts and lots of shuffling.

The next year might become the most fun and fascinating year ever to be an armchair GM. Teams are going to have to do some serious shuffling and asset management.
I can't wait until they announce the actual rules so that the games can begin!
