Kulemin's the only must-sign for me. Best defensive player on the team. Can play any position and in any situation and on any line. How anybody can want him gone is beyond me.
I wouldn't mind seeing Bodie back at $950k to fill the 12/13 forward spot, but we also have options on the farm that could do that for cheap. Ideally I'd like to see Ranger back too at $1mil again, as he's the perfect 6/7 defenceman (cheap, doesn't complain, wants to be here, can play in any situation), but just like busta said earlier 1) there's probably only room for one of him or Gleason and 2) guys like Granberg/MacWilliam/Percy are going to start to need playing time soon. Still, it doesn't hurt to have depth and those guys are pretty young. So maybe I just talked myself into re-signing him.
Bolland, McClement, and Raymond, while all useful players, are going to have likely priced themselves out of Toronto. If they would re-sign for cheap and short 1-year bridge deals to give some of our younger players a bit more time, then maybe we can talk. But I don't see that happening.
As for MacIntyre, I don't want to see him as the Leafs back-up. To put it bluntly, we need somebody better in that spot. Maybe we can have him back on the Marlies, but I don't think they'll want to have 3 goalies down there with one going to the ECHL. Sparks and Gibson can likely hold their own next season.
