Ferland gone over Brouwer....Elliott or Mason in goal.
It does seem odd that we are so worried to lose players who didn't even come close to getting it done. I think Backlund is a good player too but where was he down the stretch and in the playoffs? He is certainly not untouchable.

What are you reading lately? Things are not as bad as you think. Backlund played great down the stretch and you need players to build a team. Ferland and Backlund are good and great players respectively, you can't just move on and hope to find those two again. Ferland may be playing in the wrong spot but he fills a big need.
I keep repeating myself but if Backlund was to leave about 5 minutes in the first period of the first game of the season we would be begging, absolutely begging for a "Backlund type" player.
