BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

There are a couple of things we would like to do up front just to see if we can help ourselves

It depends on how we go about it ... We think we can upgrade our defense with where we're at. But [a more expensive player] would involve some other things.

Nothing has really changed ... His knee is still an issue. He's going to continue to rehab and try and strengthen that area. I think he is going to talk to our doctors one more time and see if there is something surgically they can do to help him both for now and long term, because he still wants to play.

We don't have to sign one of the top free agents this year to be successful ... In fact, you have to be careful to let the roster grow together and improve together and just add pieces to get to another level. We're in a nice position and don't have to retool the whole roster like we did last year.

Obviously, losing R.J. was strictly financial, and, all things being equal, if there was a non-cap situation, we would have had R.J. back ... But that said, Paul and the staff expect the young kids to only get better, and we have prospects coming up who haven't had a chance to develop, including Steve Downie. We're getting [Simon] Gagne back, and [rookie winger] Claude Giroux is going to get an opportunity, and Paul picked up Steve Eminger on the back end, so I don't think we're any weaker.

We had a shotgun approach last year and went out aggressively [for free agents] at 12:01 ... Here, we'll deal with the agents through the upcoming days. The good news is that we have a solid nucleus and can be patient.

Someone may sign a guy and then have to move someone else - say, a $2 million guy they want but can't afford, so the signings may affect us

We still have interest in him, but it's going to come down to dollars and cents

We want to acquire depth ... You're going to have injuries and trades and you need guys to fill roles - and who knows, you just might find a diamond in the rough.
