IMO if the young can play then really, they should be kept. We need to go through this process at some time, so lets get it over with. We may not again have as many talented guys available at one time. Get some toughness in to look after them and go forward!

I think to stay for a while Hansen will need to play some defence. He's not that fast and can't really scrap. He won't be kept as a 2o year since we can't afford to lose any more picks. Brooks, D'Amico, Hansen, Zimmer, and perhaps others could be on the bubble. Williams as a 19 d-man isn't too secure in my mind. The trades need to start happening soon, since the sooner you create an identity the better off you will be.
