I would get rid of McCabe, for pretty much all of the reasons mentioned above, but also, to help the team find a new identity, because their past/current one isn't all that great...
they should try to trade Raycroft too if at all possible, and bring Pogo up as back-up and get him started on his way to becoming their #1...
ideally i would try to sign Sundin to a 2 year contract (WITHOUT an NTC this time), so that the younger players can continue to learn from him and who knows, maybe they even sneak into the playoffs if Sundin comes back, and things go well for them, if not, you have the option of trading him around the deadline if the offer is good enough, or in the offseason, or again the year after at the deadline...1 yeaar would still be ok too...
