This year is lost like it or not. Sell the expiring deals and try and find places for Carter, Kapanen. McGinn, and maybe Petry and Rutta. We have a lot of cap space to build a good team next year if we use it wisely.
True, but theres really nothing of value coming back and, even worse, NO buyers for any of those guys. And can they afford to just write off a year, when theres more likelihood that the team is worse next year?
The prospect pool is pretty weak, theres not tons of cap opening up, so they best way forward FOR THIS CORE GROUP is to move some picks now for talented, and youngish team depth, that could help now and moving forward.
I really don;t think that if the team can;t do it this year, that they're in a better position next. Poehling, legare, nylander aren;t the answer, but frost and vrana might be
