I'd like for them to lock up Andre Benoit as well.
It'll be hard to keep Benoit, who could really help in the leadership department. Lots of teams in Europe will be looking to get him under contract and Germany alone has 8+ suitors, as far as I've heard.
Also can't deny the following...
Signed: Aho, Vande Sompel, Wotherspoon, Quenneville, Rathgeb
RFAs: Toews and Burroughs - see both being re-upped
Anyhow, looks tight, but gotta hope that IF someone is added, it is an "established" leader with experience.
Can we bring back Joe Whitney and Bracken Kearns? If we have Bellows in the A next year, can we not do the same thing we did with Dal Colle and actually get a center for the kid to feed?
Would be wonderful to have a couple of guys like Whitney and Kearns there. Bernier is still on board with a contract. Fritz as well, should the Isles not have other plans for him.
But interestingly, I only see Dal Colle, Ho-Sang, Eansor, Koivula, Stevens, and perhaps Bellows as guys coming from the Isles.
Kemp is an RFA. Can't imagine him being retained.
Not sure what the contract situations look like for the purely AHL or two-way guys other than Hitchcock. Bailey? St. Denis? The Jones'? The Holmstroms?
