Ryan Winterton and Cale Fleury probably are in the AHL next year, but either way the C4 and 7th Dman will be filled by people likely at league min. Grubauer buyout is necessary likely to make room for signing someone like Reinhart. Not sure if Seattle can get him, but Seattle should spend big on getting a top tier goal scorer. A tandem of Joey and a solid backup like Brossoit would be a better and cheaper tandem even considering the buyout.

I can't see Winterton making the team out of camp next year. In his time with the team this year he just looks like he needs another year in the AHL. Also don't see a point in bringing back Yams.

Agree on Winterton. I just dropped him there because I didn't want to figure out which min player to fill in at C4. Yams is more sentimental than anything else but probably not worth reserve spot at 1.5 which would be what the qualifying offer would be. Perhaps at league min though.
