This isn't a thread about throwing in the towel this season, but a place to discuss the roster make-up next year and beyond. There is a very good possibility that this team will have a lot of turnover.
UFA's this year: E. Staal, Ward, Versteeg, Liles, Gerbe, Terry, Nash, Malone, Ryan.
UFA's next year: McClement, Hainsey, Wizniewski.
RFA's this year: Rask, Nordstrom, Jordan, Murphy at the NHL level and notable RFAs in the system: Biega, Lowe, Woods, Tirronen.
For next season, and the foreseeable future, the defense is pretty set although there is some potential to move D for F help. Lack is signed through 2018 so goalie is still a question mark and we know the forward ranks are weak. Barring any trades/signings, this is what the Canes have under contract in a couple of years: Skinner, J. Staal, Rask, Lindholm, PDG, Nestrasil, Nordstrom.
Possible guys who could make the jump in 1-2 years: Aho, whomever they draft this year in the projected 5-10 range, McGinn, Ryan (if re-signed), Wallmark(?), Ned (?), others?
What realistic moves/signings would you like to see or do you anticipate happening in attempts to build the roster for next year and the following?
