The more I think about it, the more I believe that this isn't one of those "additions by subtraction" off-seasons. It's going to be addition by addition. We don't need to trade anyone of note, because most core players had decent seasons.
We need to replace personnel like Gully, Stajan, Versteeg, Brouwer and Stone with better players. Some of those will come in house - Foo, Andersson and maybe someone else - Dube or Mangiapane perhaps. The other two replacements will be on the open market - Sutter or AV in the coaching arena. And then we need a top-3 forward via UFA.
I think we're going to be more surprised by the top 3 forward than who comes in. It's gonna be huge. Whomever comes in - its going to be their team
