I think they could extend 1 or 2 of the UFA's. But trading them af the draft will likely garner a lesser return than if you can hold them and trade them with retained salary into the season.

But who knows how this all shakes out. I'm sure there are things that will happen that no one saw coming.

I'd like to see them try and bring in a few younger guys like Caoronato and Zary along with Pelletier and Duehr while trading off all the pending UFA's through the season. I'd think Lindholm and Hanifin are the Teo to try and keep, but cost might be a too much. Can't afford anymore 7 million dollar guys who are not elite level types.
