as the core of this team as you jettison the rest.
Mine:
Miller (very good goalie, kept us in the race until he got hurt)
Gaustad (heart and soul of this team)
Butler (decent defenseman, young and should only get better)
Vanek (only pure goal scorer we have, needs someone to feed him)
Roy (gives a lot of effort and has talent)
I almost had to stop at three. Vanek can't do it by himself and Roy seems to be a "me" player at times. Connolly is the most talented we have, but you don't rebuild with a guy who is one hit from retirement. None of the other defensemen play well defensively and Rivet hasn't been as much the physical presence that I thought he would be (though more of one than anyone else). I have no doubts that Pomminville would again flourish as a second line winger on a team with a very good first line. Kaleta is a need as well, but you don't have a guy like that as a core player. I would keep him though. I wouldn't mind seeing Moore here for another season as well.
