Can't see him making it as a center ahead of Stajan, Monahan and Backlund and again don't see much use for him as the 4th line guy.

I get that logic but my view is that Granlund will be too good to send down. I expect a big camp from him. Despite the hype, I don't really know where Gaudreau is with regard to immediate NHL career. He certainly doesn't have a spot secured. I guess I'm betting that Markus outplays Johnny next fall.
Looking further, as far as small skilled forwards are concerned, I think some might be traded away given how Burke feels about the team composition.
