Which young guys emerged last year at levels/positions to replace Latt/Ram/Cam?

Baun? He's a FA and we're not likely to re-sign him.

Everyone is banging the drum to pick an impact edge or OT at 14, so clearly there are issues.

Finding starters in FA for playoff-quality teams in FA is easy, especially when you don't have cap to spend

We may have problems trying to re-sign Peat
