Backlund is 35. He's not going to be around through this entire rebuild.
Huberdeau or Kadri? I don't think so.
I honestly think that Lomberg is a great guy to have around the kids. But on the higher skill end of things, they are going to need a couple guys.
Weegar is a candidate of course. I think Andersson is another and perhaps Coleman.

Our team average age is older than Vegas, LA, Jets, Vancouver.
The goal should be to get younger not older. We have plenty of vets and the few young players we have on the roster right now are learning and they will have to take on leadership roles as we bring in other younger players.
Huberdeau is a great leader and pro. Don’t think the team needs 5 more over 30s on the roster for that type of role.
