I think we're reasonably fine in terms of forwards for next year already although I'm sure there may be more changes than I've indicated.

Defense has a few real big holes when/if Wideman and Engelland leave. We lack a #4 dman. We lack any sort of bite and snarl on the backend if Engelland leaves. You'd have to think if Treliving is looking to make a big move it would be to acquire a top 4 dman who is strong, physical and mean.

Goaltending remains a big question mark. Some combination of Johnson, Elliott and Gillies could be the solution. Hard to say.
