I really don't see Yandle moving, but that's just me.
Vermette and Doan for sure. Doan should request a trade.
Stafford means quite a bit to our team though. Not Vermette oe Yandle levels but he's basically our only productive winger. Hell if you factor in games played he's possibly our most productive forward period.
Just seems stupid for him to wallow around in AZ right now
This is the first time Maloney has spoken about a true rebuild..don't see Doan staying

If we want to really screw ourselves, the guys we move are Mitchell, Stewart and Stafford.
Then call up plugs like Ellis and Dalpe. Leave the kids to simmer in Rochester (even though they're no better off playoff-wise).
A lineup like:
Ennis-Girgensons-Moulson
Flynn-Varone-Gionta
Des-Hodgson-Dalpe
Kaleta-Ellis-Foligno (when healthy)
Yeah....that lineup is probably worse than even if Arizona sells off everything.

Send Ristolainen to the AHL, bam the D corps explodes into flames. 
Not really, though. Ristolainen is coming across nicely in the NHL. Arizona is a legitimate threat since they're in the west. That said, I still think we're worse, and at least some players currently on the team won't be by the end of the season.

Yes, have some!
The main board thinks the yotes deserve to win the lottery to get mcdavid. Some have even suggested bettman will rig the lottery to have them win!
No one, and I mean no one, will out-tank us!

wallow around as in stay home with his family in a community that loves him that he and his wife are both fixtures in
And telling teammates they need to spend more time with god if you believe some of the stories.
I think this board should pray to the hockey gods every night to grant us one of the McEichels.
Our founders, who art in the HHoF, hallowed be thy names, our cup win come, if thy will be done across the NHL to make Buffalo hockey heaven. Gives us this loss, our daily need; and forgive us our tank as we forgive those who tanked against us; lead us not into the temptation of over priced UFAs, but deliver us from finishing 29th.

"Eric Cartman?"
They are eye popping sexy stats!!!
I prefer to think of it as sighting in their 120mm main gun...
Doan's not going anywhere for the family / community reasons cited above. If he was going to leave, he would have done it a few years ago.
I just realized your avatar...
We'll see what happens in Arizona. Doan turned down stupid money from Pegula to stay in Phoenix. I don't think he requests a trade unless its clear the team is relocating.
Yandle.....I'm not sure. Vermette and Michalek will be gone for sure. I'd love to know how much salary they can realistically move and stay above the year end floor.

Understated point: ARI is 7th on the PP this season. Was watching their last game against the Sharks and before not converting in that game they were 4th. OEL and Yandle really do an amazing job with puck movement and getting shots.
