In terms of internal options I think that the only forward ready to make the jump next season is Johnsson, and he's a lock. Maybe Aaltonen but I'm iffy on him. It's clear Babs likes a better-than-average 4C and I'm not sure he's that.
On defence we'll still have Borgman and Rosen kicking around, plus maybe Holl finally.
At goalie Sparks is still under contract while Pickard is a RFA this summer.
So we'll definitely need to bring in some forwards. And considering after Marleau Kadri is the oldest guy in that group right there, I'd expect they'll go after some veterans.
