Realistically if a "perfect world" scenario for ME at least I would like to see:

Brouwer - Bought out
Stone - Traded for picks/prospects
Frolik - Traded for picks/prospects

I think we've got the depth internally with young guys that are ready now and really don't have much to prove in the AHL any longer which also allows for some cap relief for this year and next as you're inserting 2-3 ELC contracts and giving the kids a shot.

Brouwer - Gone, we've got enough active forwards to no longer need him at all.

Andersson - slots in for Stone

Frolik - One of Dube/Foo/Klimchuk/Lazar/Czarnik are likely going to be able to slot in and play effectively in the 3rd line alongside Backlund. I wouldn't worry at all. With that being said I do like what Frolik brings on the PK, hes an effective forward but from a salary standpoint I think he's one we can afford to lose.
