Dubi at the Blueshirt Bulletin tries to answer that question..."Our opinion, taking the salary cap into consideration: Re-sign Jagr, Avery, Rozsival, and maybe Mara, waive Backman, and sign a mid-level defenseman if salaries don't escalate too high -- Liles, Hainsey, or Marc Streit for the power play or Orpik as a hitter -- or a cheaper physical alternative (Kalinin or Mezei). Let Shanahan and Straka go. Malik obviously already gone. Give Korpikoski, Moore, Gratton, Byers, Potter, and Baranka first shot at the depth positions. Hard to imagine any good fall-back positions if these things don't happen -- gotta just say nyet to big-ticket UFAs Hossa, Redden, and Campbell, and an even bigger nyet to the aging wingers or younger candidates who are either soft or underachievers."
