None of Visentin, Strome or D. Hamilton are NHL ready for next season, so hopefully their teams send them down for another season. We are likely to have an all overage line returning in Agozzino-Friesen-Pacan. NHL picks Shipley and F. Hamilton are also like very likely. Then there is obviously likely 1st round prospect Jesse Graham, and the unlikely Potential 1st Round Prospect Christoval Nieves (but I doubt we can convince him).
Our Likely Needs to go on a serious run are a top line winger for Strome and Hamilton, 2 top 4 Defensemen and depth players (preferably with size and speed).
Our trade Bate will be Mercer, Wigle, Jenkins, (although we'd be happy with any of them on the team, I just think we really want experience) whoever we take with our 2011 1st round pick, and we have 8 2nd picks over the next 4 season.
What 18-19 year old players on rebuilding teams do you think could be coming Niagara's way in the off-season?

As far as Windsor goes there will be some very good and experienced vets on the block come trade deadline time.
If Niagara were looking at an upgrade in the OA area then Windsor could offer Kenny Ryan, Taylor Carnevale and Adrian Robertson.
Craig Duininck, Saverio Posa and Tom Kuhnhackl are the 19 year olds that are in play. Posa and Duininck would be great additions for the Niagara defence with their Memorial Cup experience.
All of this could be moot as Windsor may not even be willing to try and deal with Marty because of what happened last year.
