Phil Kessel -- Get rid of him now while his trade value is high, he's not a player you win with. Doesn't do anything worthwhile other then score goals. He is a problem on our top line because he is poor defensively, doesn't hit and go into the corners and shys away from contact. Probably the softest player in the league. I don't want him on this team at 8 million dollars just shooting pucks
Franson -- Another piece that has a lot of weaknesses but has value right now cause he is putting up points and he's RFA IIRC.
Fraser -- Useless 7th-8th plug on most good teams. Don't want him anymore. I like his toughness but that's not enough to stay in the NHL.
Ranger -- Reclamation project is taking to long. He is a liability defensively and one of our issues on defense.
Clarkson - If you can get anything for you you move him. I like his game but he's not producing enough points to pay him what he's earning. I doubt this contract is easily movable however.
Kadri -- He has talent but is still way to inconsistent and has many chances to succeed and fail. Also he's not mature and doesn't appear to have the right attitude to win in this league.
Reimer -- I like him he's a good goalie but we have a better goalie now and one of them needs to go and we could get good assets for Reimer. He's too good to be a backup let him go to a team where he can start.
Keep
Bozak -- Good two way forward on a decent contract and brings a lot of good intangibles to a team.
JVR -- Great body in front of the net and is a decent net presence and top forward.
Lupul -- The Captain away from the Captain. A leader a veteran and great forward who brings it.
Bernier -- Our savior. Best player we have at the moment
Phaneuf -- Our captain and best defenseman. If we can get someone better the he'd make an excellent D Partner for one of the best D corps in the league.
Gardiner -- Still makes a ton of mistakes but his talent is just off the charts. Worth keeping and has a decent contract.
Rielly -- Sky is the limit for this kid. He's going to be our best defenseman in a couple of years. Untouchable if you ask me.
McClement -- Our captain of intangibles. Best 4th line Center in the league if you ask me. Is great at everything you want from your 4th line Center and is a hometown guy who likes it here on a good contract.
Holland -- I see lots of upside in him and he's working to become a better player on his scouted weaknesses. I see bright potential with him.
Bolland -- He's probably one of the best 3rd line C's in the league. Just like McClement he does a lot of various things that help you win hockey games in a myriad of ways.
Kulemin -- The most underrated Leaf on the team and longest serving. If he can find his scoring touch again he'd make our 3rd line deadly.
Don't care about
Raymond -- Expendable very soft player and inconsistent just like Canucks fans told us a bout. He's fun to watch dangle and a pretty good player but he'll want a raise and he's not worth it.
D'Amigo -- Expendable 4th line grinder at best.
Gunnarson -- Not top pairing material and will want to get paid top line money
Wait and See
Gleason -- At this point we'll have to wait and see. JML was on my expendable list and he already got shipped out.
Fire -- Carlyle
Keep -- Nonis
Hope I didn't forget anyone.
