Next Year's Lineup

[BCG51585]

Since I'm bored and I wanna play GM, let's get everybody's opinion on what next year's lineup might look like.

I think Staal is gonna stay. I think Kennedy (via trade), Park, Asham, Martin (also via trade), Lovejoy (trade/release) need to leave. They need youth and they need size/physicality. I think Sullivan returns because of how good he was on the PP and he'd sign for cheap. Niskanen...I don't know how but I think he's back. Another part of me thinks that if they wanna make a trade to get bigger and meaner on the back end (or up front) that he would be a very valuable commodity for a team. Who the hell knows what the lines look like; and frankly, who cares? I just organized the roster this way...

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Sullivan-Malkin-Neal
Tangradi-Staal-Jeffrey
Cooke-Vitale-Adams
? - ? - ?

Orpik-Letang
Dupres-Michalek
Niskanen-Bortuzzo
Strait-Engelland

Fleury
Hedberg (PLEASE!!)
(and he has the wear the blue Manitoba Moose mask or no dice)

So let's speculate...

Who doesn't resign?
What young players make the team?
What other players are signed as UFAs?
Who gets traded? (and if you wanna be bold...for WHOM are they traded?)

GO!!!

Tangradi-Staal-Jeffrey

Wow, haven't seen that yet. I kind of really like this as the 3rd line. I loved what I saw from Tangradi vs Philly with Staal. Also, I don't care if Kennedy can put in 20. Whose to say Jeffrey can't as well playing with Staal? Little Kennedy, goes invisible for 6-7 games at a time, then has a 2 goal game, then invisible for 8 games, etc. So done with him on this squad.

All the talk about Trade Staal when we really need to just move some of the bottom 6 wingers out for younger guys.
