Default Fitting the Pieces: What Lineup Does Our Roster Make?

Been thinking a lot about this lately, especially as we have experienced being one of the hottest and one of the coldest teams in quick succession.

So the thought is, what do we actually have here in the long term? I'm curious where people see what we have fitting in for us to be a championship team.

I will probably edit this 427 times as I realize my oversights, but here's my hat in the ring:

Gaudreau - Bennett - Poirier
Klimchuk - Monahan - Hudler
*blank* - Backlund - Colborne
Ferland - Bouma - Jooris

Giordano - Brodie
Russell - *blank*
Sieloff - *blank*

There are players I love not in the roster, for sure. But I'm just trying to find spots where players make the most sense. The 4th line center, for example, isn't just simply the 4th best option the team has.

Curious as to where people see our holes going forward and what vets people don't see a future with. Also wondering what prospects we don't see sticking around.

Players I'm having trouble with:
Raymond
Wotherspoon
Baertschi
Smith
Jooris
Wideman
Jankowski
Granlund

And then we have to ask (at risk of Oiler-level overvaluing something special), does that roster have championship potential?
