Looking at your team it looks like a Mid level team, that could use an injection of talent and guys that will approch it quickly... Also Being a full keeper you can take advantage of youth for now or and the future...
My drops: Gerbe, Perreault, Leblanc (as posted by One87) and Colborne, Selanne St. Louis... (last 2 are unpopular, but are at the end of thier careers, throw them out there to cloud other teams judgement on takeing them, keeping more usefull players open for yourself)
Wiercioch and Scandella I'd add on D... your point system rewards offencive D that are on good offencive teams... Wiercioch has a big shot from the point sand sees good PP time... he also has 8 goals on the season so far... Also Ottawa's strong D and good offence, solid goalies... his +18 should be translateable to the NHL also (not as strong but still should be in the +)... Scandella has already been praised by Wild coaches as thier best Dman and should jump into top 4 minutes when the NHL resumes, he has offensive capabilities, and add in as before... Minny injected strength in forwards and defence in the off season, and they still have Backstrom and Harding... Scandella's predictions as a result look good... Also both D have a strong trend to get much stronger long term and stablize your D for a long time... (you already have a good build there)
for me the forwards your posting arn't going to help you short term... most are on the fringe, questionable, role fillers or a couple years still aways...
The 4 that interest me the most are Brett Ritchie, Richard Panik, J.T. Miller, and Da Costa... but they aren't in good positions to make NHL impacts now...
Your next Tier are Killorn/Brown/Johnson, (you figure out who may make Tampa cause I can't) Nelson/Cizikas/Kabanov (again competing for similer ice, my advantage is Nelson, but as a 3rd liner) Harikainen may make Edmonton as a 4th liner with limited upside...
Tim Kennedy/Bobby Butler are no better than Perreault and Gerbe as depth...
Sheppard is a Gamble...
Tangradi is under preforming and unlikely to live up to the hype...
In your position I'd swap the 6 I mentioned, then deal for anouther forward from a position of strength being your D... be it Enstrom or Edler for 2 solid Forwards or one of your hot prospect D for a good core forward...
I don't feel that with whats avalible you can move yourself up too much forward, but you can solidify your young talent and add assets that can be moved for what you need later...
Also I like your Quote in your sig and I must relate it to what I mentioned with Selanne and St Louis... Both are question marks at their age and in the future... it may sound Stupid to throw them out now for nothing... but anouther team may react and grab them to throw you back something you can use... Making it rather Clever for you....
