So, Lomberg, Pout and probably Smith are done here at the end of the year.

I have to think Lomberg comes back. Hes a solid call up if we need a 4th line energy guy. Much rather him than someone like Peluso as Lomberg can play and skates well.
Prout is probably gone and I'm 50/50 on Smith. If he pulls it together here we can run a 1a/1b with Rittich/Smith. Depends on both Smith and Gillies. Gilles looks pretty disappointing so far though. The big thing is I think Smith would sign a 1 year deal, which isnt a big deal if he doesnt work out next year. Where as an any UFA option is probably a multi year deal.
