TJ Brodie - Hamilton
Giordano - Wideman
Jokipakka - Engelland

Lad Smid - Nakladal (UFA)

Wotherspoon

1. Bolded are untouchable, the building blocks of the D core.
2. Would be nice to see Nakladal brought back on a 2 year deal, roughly $900k-$1 million. That's more in line with bottom pairing cap cost.
3. Would like to see one of Wideman or Engelland moved to make room for Nakladal. Preferably Wideman, but that opens up a hole in the top 4 that Jokipakka or Engelland have to fill.
4. Laddy Smid is a huge question mark with his injury woes, now waiver eligible Wotherspoon can take on his role as #7 if he can't play.

In Stockton:

B. Kulak - Kylington
R. Culkin - Anderssen
P. Sieloff - Morrison

Kanzig

1. This is assuming no vets are brought in on AHL deals, which isn't likely. Aaron Johnson and Dustin Stevenson types.
2. Kulak 1st call up if he earns it, hopefully Culkin and Kylington push as well.
3. This also assumes a guy like John Gilmour isn't given an AHL deal, or that Rafikov and Ollas-Mattsson stay in Europe.

Hickey in college, 3rd year.
Bruce in the OHL.
