This is the new opening post of the 2015 trade, draft, FA megathread. Please try to keep posts on-topic.
Much of the discussion comes down to when people can genuinely determine where the gaps are in our team and what players / types we need to target in order to fill those gaps. Without knowing how the existing players have developed (or not), and whether players like Hickey and Gilbert will have relatively full seasons, it is particularly speculative and arguably discussion could easily be accommodated in other threads.
Posters still like to discuss the possibility of trades, or acquisition of players currently contracted with other clubs, most of that belongs here, but remember that posts in this thread are often whimsical or unrealistic and often will display a desire to obtain a certain player without having a strategy based in reality on how to entice the mother club to release said player.
There will be some genuine informed opinions and cutting edge rumours here. Some soon become dated, others stand the test of time. Just don't place too much weight on anything you read in this thread and you will be fine.

Rahul has provided an updated list of uncontracted players. It should help with discussions in the thread and act as a good reference for posters.

Would have met him beforehand through interviews + house visits. I vaguely recall an article where a high-profile draftee (or was it his parents?) complimented Elshaug for his comments and support even though he didn't end up getting drafted by the saints
