By the 2013-2014 season this is what I hope happens.
Buyouts: Samuelsson & Bertuzzi
Trades: Colaiacovo, Mursak, Emmerton
Not Resigned: Cleary, Miller, White
Resigned: Filppula, Brunner, Nyquist, Smith, Kindl, Howard
Called Up: Jarnkrok, Tatar, Andersson
Projected Line Up
Filppula- Datsyuk- Nyquist
Franzen- Zetterberg- Brunner
Tatar- Helm- Jarnkrok
Abdelkader- Andersson- Tootoo
Eaves (If Healthy)- Sheahan (GR)- Ferraro (GR)- Jurco (GR)
Kronwall- FA/Trade
Smith- Ericsson
Quincey- Kindl (Or FA/trade and Kindl as 7th dman)
Almqvist (GR)- Lashoff (GR)
Howard
Gustavsson
McCollum (GR)
So for the extras on forward, pretty much how I have it is Eaves is first guy to go in case of injury or awful play, then Sheahan and then Ferraro for 4th line injurys or Helm. Jurco goes in for Top 6 winger, but plays 3rd line and we just promote Tatar or Jarnkrok. For defense, Almqvist goes in for an offensive role, Lashoff if defensive role is needed. As for goalies, I don't want to ruin Mrazek so I'll let him continue to develop as a starter in the AHL rather than backing up in the NHL.
For the free agent/trade for defensemen, I'd really like to add two right handed defensemen. I'm not sure who will be available through trade yet, but for free agents (not including buy outs as we don't know them yet), I'm looking at Edler, Smid and Murray (even though they're lefties), and then for righties I'm hoping we can get one through trades or maybe through buyouts.
