My guess is the roster looks pretty close to what we are seeing right now. Might see a different veteran d-man added instead of Hanley. Maybe Markstrom gets moved. Mangiapane probably get more value if you wait until the deadline, same with Kuzmenko.
But let's give it a shot of what I'd prefer to see:
Goalie:
Wolf
Vladar/Talbot/Quick/ other veteran
Move Markstrom, either Vladar or a veteran goalie split time with Wolf.
Defense:
Weegar, Kylington, (top 4 UFA D), Miromanov, Pachal, Okhotiuk, Hanley
Move Andersson, replace him with a veteran dman from UFA or a cap dump veteran via a trade where you get compensation for taking him.
Center:
Sharangovich, Kadri, Backlund, Rooney
Winger:
Huberdeau, Coleman, Kuzmenko, Zary, Pospisil, Coronato, Pelletier, Greer
Move Mangiapane. If somebody like Duclair or Debrusk can be had for good value then think about that. Might be tough to move Mangiapane before the deadline.
