Are any worth keeping?

Sign him to a chump change contract, draft a guy in the 4th round, and let him, Carlies, and the draft choice compete for the starting position in camp.

IMO the culture of the franchise is likely a bigger issue currently than even the talent level. To change the culture you are going to have to change a decent amount of the players, especially considering the top two supposed leaders of the team are returning (GM and HC). And you have to start showing some accountability. Resigning him even to a chump change contract isn’t accountability. That makes it an easy call to replace Speed, I’m not worried about a slight drop in performance at the position if it means helping change the culture.
