They have no cap space and no prospects and are short picks. Do they even have 1 player that might step up and help next year? Holloway and Broberg just don't look like they are good enough to take on a bigger role.
Bourgault had 20 points in 55 games in the AHL. Lavoie had 50 in 66 games, but he is 24 soon which is less impressive at that age in the AHL.
They need 4 forwards, 1 dman and a goalie plus resign RFA's Broberg and Holloway with $10 mil cap space. That is very hard to manage with nobody coming up from the AHL to fill spots.
