3rd tier: Cooke, Pandolfo, Miettinen, Williams

Schultz would be a good addition to pair along with Stralman going forward.

I'd go after Ryder.
Out of favour, coming off a bad year, has a solid history of scoring 25+ goals.
Still young.

agreed.

I get the feeling hes one of those players who just needs to be moved to another team. Look at what new teams did for players like Radim Vrbata, Patrick Sharp, Ribiero. I think Ryder can be a perennial 25 goal scorer under the right coach.

At this point, unless some of our defense is traded...I see no point in trying to sign a guy like Campbell to a large contract.

You left out one very important name in the 1st Tier -Mats Sundin.
I would also like a good Back up Goal Tender maybe Grahame in the 3rd Tier depending on what he's asking, I'm not sure Pogge can take over as Back-up, for at least another year.

Pogge should be ready for a backup role next year imo.
