dilemma: Slats is running out of picks and prospects

The team has a bunch of young forwards sure, but their defense? very suspect. Staal no where near the same player since his injury, Girardi, getting long in the tooth, and they're on the books for the discount purchase of $11.3 total for next year. Boyle? $4.5 for another year, have fun with that one.
Keith Yandle? not sure what you're paying him, but it's too much.

let me not get started AGAIN rick nash, who matt wants to sweep under the rug as he's "doing the intangibles" ....biggest offensive threat on the team, 7 points in 15 games.....you can't spin that sh!t
