I doubt we'll be players in free agency. We're looking to dump salary, not overpay players. Which is what you have to do to get them as a UFA.
I'd keep Iggy for 4 mil/year max. Let Cooke and Duper walk. Keep Jokinen around and see where he fits into the lineup. And go from there.
Who I want on this team correlates to whether Bylsma is the coach.
If Dan is still here then I don't want Dupuis OR Iggy.
If Dan is gone I want them both.
I posted my lineup before, but I would do something like this:

Get rid of Glass any way possible and try to see what we can get for Jokinen and Niskanen.
If we can get rid of Fleury, then I would try to do something to bolster the defense with that cap space, because it's kind of frightening even though I have nothing against letting the kids get some playing time.
