I think if we can get a new coaching staff, let older UFA’s like Stajan, Versteeg, Stewart, Shore, and Glass walk, inject the bottom six with youth and trade one of Stone or Brodie + for a real top 6 winger we might have chance next year.

Nick Shore is 25 and an upcoming RFA. He currently makes $925K and isn't likely to get a huge raise. Maybe we should see how he performs before cutting him loose. I fully expect none of the upcoming UFAs will be re-signed.
