They have 6 UFAs, 8 counting Elliott and Neuvirth. Add in trying to improve on Weise. They have cap space. The only UFA I would consider bringing back is Raffl. This team could look considerably different to start next year.

I'm all for trading a core piece to improve the team but that's easier said than done.

At the very least, we should have one new goalie, 5 new forwards (combined trades, FA and prospects) and 2 new defensemen (could be even younger).

Minus 2-3 goalies, 5-6 forwards and 2 defensemen.

This year sucks for sure but it shouldn't continue. The right moves need to be made.

That is the key.

While I have lots of rage right now at all this don't give me Sanheim, Frost and a pick for a John Quick.

I don't expect anything like that to happen (or at least I hope not and will be very disappointed if it does).

Fletcher has a lot of work in front of him. I was worried after the Holmgren/Scott presser but Fletcher doesn't seemed to be pressured into doing something stupid.

Well to me, the right moves are about personnel fit on the team, filling roles and holes. The right moves may not get equal return or win on paper, but not making moves will certainly bring more of the same...losing.

I have no fear that he would do anything like that. I worry he misses an opportunity over making a “good” deal.

Like you said earlier, they're going to get younger with some kids filling the open roles, filling in the remaining roles with the right personnel is critical.
