Gaudreau - Monahan - Shinkaruk
Ferland - Bennett - Brouwer (Big RW, UFA)
Colborne - Backlund - Frolik
Bouma - Stajan - Hathaway
Jooris/Bollig

Giordano - Brodie
Hamilton - Nakladal
Engelland - Jokkipakka
Smid

Reimer (would prefer Bishop but since Stamkos likely won't re-sign in Tampa, they have the money to keep him)
Ortio

Trade Wideman for picks or anything you can get at the draft/summer.

Send our 1st round pick back to juniors or Europe if they that is where they are from.

I wouldn't mind if we didn't sign Jooris and if we traded Bollig away or Stajan. I doubt we can keep Grant. I hope they give Jankowski his 9 games or whatever it is to start the season and he sends Stajan to the press box for the season, it would be great to have Stajan on the wing if Bob wants him in the lineup to help mentor him if that was possible. With the energy that Bouma and Hathaway bring, it would be great to have a centre that can keep up with that energy but still be responsible defensively, not sure Jankowski can do that just yet and I don't think Stajan is mobile enough to do that anymore.

Our 2nd and 3rd lines are more like 2A and 2B lines, whoever is producing better should get to play more. I would think that the Backlund line would get more defensive zone starts than Bennett's line and that is fine.

I hope they can do more in the off season but I don't see much happening besides bringing in a UFA goalie and a UFA middle 6 player. We will still be missing a top line RW come the new season IMO. I hope we can sign Okposo but not sure BT will throw enough money his way to get him to move out West.
