Neal - send him to the AHL if he is as slow and useless as now. Doubtful he does that and he simply retires or asks to cancel. This is rarely done, but Neal is an exception, we never signed him to that contract. The only reason we traded for him was to get rid of an even bigger stink (Lucic). No loyalty is owed. Even if he stuck around for next season, no way he skates in Bako for 2 full years. Time to play hardball.
Goalie - get UFA Ullmark if possible in tandem with Kos if you can't trade him. We've rolled the dice twice with Smith and done OK, but one day very very soon he's going fade badly. I would not count on him next year as anything more than a limited backup.
C - CMD, Drai, JJ all fine. Add a RHC who can skate and PK and win faceoffs. Haas is OK as a cheap #5C. Turris to AHL with Neal.
LW - try real hard to get UFA Swartz or Hyman for CMD's line and Holloway for L3. That would be an awesome upgrade. Keep RNH (5x$5 w/ NMC) on L2, Shore on L4 and add Benson to fill in. If RNH wants $6+ then try sign Danault for less.
RW - JP, Yamo, Kass and Archie are fine. Let Chiasson and Russell walk.
RD - let Barrie walk and go into camp with Larrson (resigned) Bear and Bouchard
LD - Nurse and I might try resign Kulikov to a short deal if he performs OK. Samarukov is ready for 3rd pair duty and Broburg to AHL for half a year. I deal Jones at end of the year and leave Lags exposed for Seattle. Russell is 7D for a year and then shake the man's hand and call it a career.
Holes are fillable in the off-season and then our window is open for multiple years. Just try win a round and give TOR a serious push. That would be considered a successful season.
