Roster changes aren't that dramatic

We dumped a shwack of people after the 2003/04 season. There was an overhaul of the 2003-2004 roster for the 2005-2006 season. We only kept 16 of the 26 listed on that list and played 14 on a regular basis. So what's so different this year?

I liked Brad May, Johan Hedberg and Mike Keane. May not have been too attached to Brent Sopel and Marek Malik but the blue line certainly suffered when they left.

On a side note, wow, did you know that Nolan Baumgartner is older than Jovo by 3 months??
