Unless its a can't refuse offer like Dustin Brown, I think Whitney stays. We're more likely to see Gonchar traded than Whit.
Boucher is a really nice addition at this point, especially considering it didn't cost us anything.

I think the only way you can use that lineup is if: 1) Whitney comes back at another level, 2) Boucher bounces back to 06-07 standards or at least close to it, and 3) Goligoski improves in his own end. Skill on the back end is a luxury these days but you still have to balance it out. Scuderi and Gill have been huge on the PK and in turn the improved PK has been a big part of this team's heightened success since the deadline last year. I'd be hesitant to break that up. At least one of the two has to be in the lineup for the playoffs.

Good thing neither have to go through waivers.
Why wouldn't Gogo have to go through, he is 23 and has played in 16 NHL games.

Why did Bissonnette have to pass?

Because he is in his 4th professional season? I think thats why he has to clear, but even after reading the CBA section on it, i'm confused. In fact, I'm more confused after reading it.

"The guy played over 1,100 games and has two Cup rings. He wasn't playing a lot, but he was working hard every day on and off the ice and being a great teammate. The tendency for 95 percent of the guys in his situation would be to go the other way.
"Darryl chose to go about it the right way."

I don't know if Sydor would be classified as a locker room cancer, but he was a disturbance and the coaching staff holds him, Recchi, and Roberts partially responsible for Staal's play last season because they were an extremely negative influence on him.
