I don't know why people are including Smid in any future line ups. I think he's pretty much done and will remain on LTIR for the remainder of his contract. I honestly don't think Wideman will be around for next year, there's just too much going on and I think a team that goes for a guy like Ynadle and doesn't get him will settle for Wideman. Engelland will be on the roster but likely a #7 guy and Jokipakka and Nakladal will be our bottom pairing guys. I think the team will add a #4 guy but it verry well could be Chychrun at the draft if they're pick #5 or a UFA signing.

But I'm usually wrong more than I'm right so there's that too.
