Stall is going to account for 6 million against the cap, and Marty will likely get half of his 5.6 million to stay another year. That over 12% of your salary cap tied up in just two players - they are not going to be the same team next year.

The core is still young and most importantly Hank is in his prime. At this point, Id be shocked if Marty came back at all. Slats will shed some salary and they'll be fine.

translation: Slats will carve through a non-competitive teams roster and relieve them of their high end players for picks and prospects.
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
