They don't have alot of those guys; Backlund's on a two year retirement contract, Kadri and Hubereau are basically not movable nor worth the cost to move them, and Coleman with three more years left is basically in the same hoar.
Anderson, Dube and Mangiapane are all 27 and younger, and while I'm not against moving any for the right deal you don't need to turn over an entire roster to rebuild a team. The blue line will have Weegar and Anderson back. Hanifin, Tanev, Zadorov are gone.
A team with those remaining vets, with Wolf, Pelletier, Coronato, Zary, Pospisil, Ruzicka, Jeremie Poirier, and maybe a few young players we trade for filling out the roster is fine.
