he's also got the reputation of being a great locker room guy, so he'll hang around past his expiration date for a while

Was thinking the same thing. Only guy I heard us have interest in was Jack Johnson. Glad we dodged that bullet, 5 years is a hell of a lot of term for a guy who is on the decline.

I don't even have any idea if Bob is targeting forwards or defensemen, or neither for that matter.

Bob is going to focus on signing his RFA's and then check out the bargain bin.
As he should with FA. The hit percentage league-wide in FA is in the single digits.
If this team is going to get an upgrade it will have to be through reappropriation in a trade.
Having said that, I'd look at...
Derek Ryan
Jannik Hansen
Calvin de Hann
Ian Cole
Thomas vanek
...as (hopefully) cheap upgrades around the fringes of the roster.

We don't really have enough center depth to not bring him back though, unless there is a trade in the works or Murray plans on signing a different center to a similarly overpriced UFA contract. Grant, Derek Ryan, and Letestu are pretty much the only affordable depth centers worth pursuing IMO (Beagle also but he is rumored to be signing in VAN). I'd be fine with any of those three really, but sometimes it's better to keep the guy you are already familiar with.
On the other hand, it would be a remarkable troll job by Murray to preach four line hockey and then only give Carlyle two healthy centers.

Theres a STH event on July 1, right? It'd be the most Bob thing ever to announce some signing out of the blue at that.

Select A Seat for new season ticket holders but no Bob. The event with him is later in the month.

Ennis bought out? Maybe Buffalo can sign him, package him with some players for Fowler?

Good luck to kerdiles, injuries really messed up his development.

He's pretty small, likely an AHLer for life. He's also from La Mirada, CA, so we traded a SoCal guy for another SoCal guy.

Henry, you're our only hope!
Kerdiles really never got a real shot for some reason. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him carve out a spot like Noesen did. De Leo doesn't look promising at all. Smaller supposed skill player who produced less than Kerdiles in the AHL.
What really sucks is the fact that Kerdiles didn't ever get a proper opportunity to fight for a roster spot, either due to injury or roster management.
Good luck in Winnipeg, Nic. I hope he succeeds and makes our organization look foolish.
