I agree, that is a solid group. Hughes requires no explanation, Schenn is a true warrior and Bear is engaged on every play and has been a steadying influence on OEL.
Problem being the other two big contracts on the back end. OEL may be a contract this team cannot move without giving up valuable assets, they need to try though. I do believe that Myers can be moved, one year left on his deal after this season makes him a bit more enticing.
Time to start building from the net out.
