Exactly. Yzerman needs to stick to one strategy for the next 5 years: cut salary fat, keep core intact, draft players who can fill in the empty positions. Nothing drastic needs to happen to our core group of players.
your core group is only up to say 12 guys if you can get better by addition or subtraction you do it
i wonder what everyone thinks is core would i trade killer for the right deal absolutely is not too many guys I would say no to trades myself
hedman stralman bishop
stamkos drouin triplets
everyone else for the right player players im ok with personally if the deal is right but for a bunch vasilevskis killorn callahan flipper i want a superstar coming back a top guy in the league
guys below that doesnt need to be superstar but must be someone who impacts us correctly so is a lot of thought
basically we can use a rh d hopefully pmd who can run the power play well and plays great defense guy who can go up and down the lines and just overall a good solid player
also maybe a veteran winger thats up to our guys on that one though do we need an upgrade there I say yes
cut the fat jt brown and morrow can go we will have the money so move them bring in a guy for 3rd or 4th line like what we hoped morrow was but who can keep up pitch in a little fight in him type of guy a vet or a steal guy who has a little more upside or readiness then say vladdy
