I'm looking at the current roster, and I still have 2 too many defensemen after that trade. I doubt guys like Schmidt will clear waivers. I doubt you could get anything for guys like Garrison, Stoner, or Engelland.
Garrison-Emelin
Sbisa-Merrill
Schmidt-Miller
McNabb/Engelland/Stoner
Minors: Theodore, Reinhart
That forward group...not so good. They're going to get manhandled, especially at center ice.
Perron-Shipachyov-Neal
Marchessault-Eakin-Smith
Haula-Lindberg-Karlsson
Pulkinnen-Bellemare-Thorburn
IR: Clarkson, Grabovski
I would imagine that on July 1, Vegas goes after a key free agent center (Joe Thornton???) or makes a trade for a center using a couple of their defensemen. No idea who though.

Ughh, that defense. It could have been so much better and still been comprised of relatively younger guys (from Minny, NYI and Anaheim). The Theodore pickup was decent, but how are they going to move a Stoner/Emelin/Sbisa? Not bloody likely, heck they might have to throw in a sweetner. Just terrible.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
