OT - Free Agent Game (Trade Talk Forum)

Hello Panthers fans, I've taken up the role as virtual general manager for the Florida Panthers for the Free Agent Game on the Trade Forum. I have a few questions, Florida has quite a few RFA's:

Jay Bouwmeester
Rostislav Olesz
Stefan Meyer
Garth Murray
Gregory Campbell
Martin Tuma
Rob Globke
Kamil Kreps
Martin Lojek
Mike Duco
David Brine
Anthony Stewart
Adam Taylor

Who do I keep? Who is a minor league player? What should I offer them?

Also wondering who are the core players for Florida, what type of players are you guys targetting in FA and in trades. I've got an image of this team, but I'm also trying to keep things realistic.

Anyways, thanks guys (and gals)

Core Players: Vokoun, Bouwmeester, Allen, Welch, Jokinen, Horton, Weiss, Olesz, Booth, Kreps. Martin has said he wants to acquire a puck-moving defenseman and a gritty role player(forward) this offseason, either through trade or free agency.

Keep Globke and Taylor too - they're minor leaguers, but Globke's only a 2nd year pro and could develop a bit more. Taylor's a good minor-league depth guy. Keep their contracts short and cheap.

Tuma is a definite release, Murray - we never got to see him much, but might as well dump him too.

i don't think we'd have to pay kreps that much... i'd say around 850k maybe even 750k we have the leverage to say it was one year give him a one year deal and then if he can play 3rd line solid role and put up decent numbers he gets a nice raise next offseason
