Who needs to go?

I think they get rid of Johnny Oduya, Sheldon Brookbank, Kris Versteeg, and Michal Handzus.

Why Oduya?

I agree, I thought he played pretty well. Brookbank is also a very affordable 7th man or maybe even 6th....you don't know what Rozzy will be up to. Handzus will surely retire. My wish list is for the obvious....a 2nd line center whether it's Teuvo or someone else and possibly a trade for someone with a BIG shot that can handle the pp. Other than that, it's keep the line moving....older players move along and a few developing kids move in.

I wouldn't be completely adverse to it....it would depend on what the return would be or maybe who they have coming up to replace him.

I feel like Morin and Teuvo are both going to see more ice, which will certainly help with both depth, infusing some youth since we're almost certain to lose a few older cats. Everyone griped about how horrific the second line played and (surprise!) we were dead in the water until they showed up and started giving the team quality minutes.

Again, my knowledge in terms of roster construction is certainly not other-worldly, but I agree with Diehard that a second line center that can score from anywhere on the ice and provide pressure on a PP is extremely important. Maybe Teuvo can be that guy to step up? Outside of that, I really felt like we go pushed around that entire WCF series. Getting absolutely trashed against the boards, guys getting shoved, manhandled, whatever you want to call it. I know it kind of contradicts the Hawks style of play, but I'd like to see a physically imposing guy to help with changes of pace and to help clear the puck when killing penalties -- because this series clearly shows your team always can't dictate the style of play.

Other then that -- just draft well, try to fill some holes internally in order to save that precious cap space for the impending Kane and Toews extensions.
