Piecing together a team

As rumors multiply regarding players not returning, our identifiable roster grows shorter and shorter. Coach Beard is going to have to hustle, and it will be interesting to see how he pieces together enough talent this late in the game to be competitive this season. Presumably the core of the better talent will be returning, but we have lost a few key players and will miss them. It's jigsaw time! We shall just have to hope there is not one piece missing in this box.
