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.
Personally, I think Anyone who wants an extension needs to have it agreed to by start of the draft.

No hard feelings to anyone who doesn’t want to stick around, but I can’t stand them losing out on pieces that could set them up for another decade to run it back with one of the most unpopular teams they’ve ever iced.
