The only must resign is Saad. They will probably be able to squeeze in Kruger with an affordable contract. Oduya is probably a near must sign, especially if we have to trade Seabrook. If we can cut ~6 mil by getting rid of sharp and 4m by getting rid of Bickell, we should be able to keep the rest. The hope is that Teuvo can replace Sharp, TVR can be a dependable blue liner, and we can make some smart bargin FA signings to fill the holes. I think its doable to remake the roster and remain a fringe contender, but I could also see a slightly stripped down roster having a difficult time after playing 10 or 11 of 12 possible playoff series over the last 3 years and struggling to make the playoffs a la LA this year. 1st: Saad - Toews - Hossa 2nd: Kane - ? - ? 3rd: Shaw -? - Teuvo 4th: ? - Kruger - Versteeg (he's under contract - is he trade-able?) 1st: Keith - Seabrook 2nd: Hammer - Oduya 3rd: ? - ? . that's a lot of spots to fill, but ill still put the bolded core up against anyone else in the league. that 3rd line D is something that needs to be a huge focus. I think Teuvo ends up on the 2nd line next year. i don't know, i guess i'm just not that worried. i think bowman will make it work better than we expected.
