Who is Expendable?

Lupul, honestly.

Just seems scared to get hurt or scratch his pretty face. Haven't seen anything amazing out of him, he wasn't producing very well this season either...
 
Is there any player on the team as its currently constructed that you wouldn't mind seeing go, even if the return wasn't lucrative?

Kessel, Lupul, Clarkson, Phaneuf.
Wait, what? You would be happy to receive peanuts for Kessel and Phaneuf?

For me: Orr, McLaren, and Clarkson (from weighing his contract vs. output). Possibly Franson.
 
Love Colton but I think he's done.

Franson, Lupul, McClement, Kulemin, Gleasson, Riemer, Orr, McLaren. I'd consider moving Bozak if we're sticking with Kadri as the second line centre.

Holland is an odd fit. He's going to be a 60-point forward, but if we're looking to compete, I think he'd need to step us his game as a winger. If he can play with the same intensity as Colborne, he's going to do well.

You'd ideally move Clarkson and have Holland replace his spot. Trade for Jordan Staal and Evander Kane. Two all-round forwards who would join JVR and at least allow Bozak or Kadri not stick out as much. Arguably, Bozak is more well-rounded than Kadri despite his lower offensive upside.
 
Feel like Franson would be an addition by subtraction.

Felt like he was so good in the lockout season what the heck happened to him.
 
Quite a few.

Franson
Gleason
Clarkson (ain't happening though :()
Raymond
Bolland (Holland is here and looked good when actually given playing time and half-decent linemates. Don't want to pay Bolland what he'll want)
Kulemin (Time to move on. Guys in the AHL are ready and Kulie will want a raise. His defensive game isn't enough to makeup for the lack in offense)
McClement (PK specialist did little to help us in that department this year)
 
Franson is the correct answer. Replace him with someone who knows how to play defense and we rid ourselves of like 50GA and I'm not even kidding :laugh:
