Gauthier if he has any sense will clean house.
And that means the rest have to go. Which means Plekanec, Price, Hamrlik, O'Byrne, Pouliot, K-bros, Metropolit, Darche, Bergeron, are gone. That's if you want to improve the team for next season's run for the cup by getting rid of under performers during the playoffs regardless of minor injuries. If they had injuries earlier they should have taken time off to heal for the playoffs instead of playing themselves into the ground so they could raise their stats for a better contract. If players keep getting injured by the time the playoffs come around or are too worn out do you want them on your team?
Trade them for whatever we can get and let's move on instead of wasting more time on the same old story year after year hoping that maybe one day they will improve. We've had enough time to see their overall talent, and we are wasting time waiting for these guys to come around and help us win a cup.
I say we build around Cammalleri, Gionta, Halak, Gill, Gorges, Markov, Moen, Lapierre, Pyatt, Moore, Spacek, Subban , Gomez and try to add some decent ufa's like Kovy, Jokinen, Armstrong, Burish, Afino and others in trades(like Pietrangelo maybe or whatever other decent player we can get) and prospects like Emelin, etc.
