I know that Ryan Kesler playing style, Doesn't lend it'sself to a long NHL career. I'd be surprised if he plays out that contract he's probably heading towards LTIR.

Was there a report or something bout kesler possibly having another surgery or something?

I think your contracts are pretty undervalued for Kase, Montour and Bozak. If you want term for Kase and Montour, give them more money and increase the length, otherwise, cut the cost a little and give them a 1-2 year bridge deal. Bozak will at least want more term. He'll get better offers elsewhere.

Other than that, I think your approach is off. With Kesler out, you have an opportunity to put Terry and Steel in scoring roles. To spur their development, put Terry as Getzlaf's RW (since the Rakell-Getzlaf pair can pretty much carry the line) and have Steel play center to Perry and Kase, since he is not ready to play shutdown center with Cogs and Silfvy. Henrique is good defensively, so he can center the shutdown line.
