We would be deep at every position.
C would be set for at least a decade. And we would have Backlund as a trading chip to acquire another winger.
The defense would be the deepest in the league. We could easily trade one of those top prospects for a winger if need be.
And RW would go from being the weakest position to being very deep. With Brouwer, Frolik and Chiasson already in the fold, we could be patient to see who rises to the top from that group. If necessary, we have multiple trading chips to acquire another good RW.
That team would be set for a very long time.

God no. That would be the worst team in the league. By Far. Unless all of your prospects panned out.
You place A LOT of faith in Bennett, Tkachuk, Shinkaruk, Poirier, Mangiapane, Boeser, Virtanen panning out. Bennett is the only guy in that group that has shown that he can play at an NHL level consistently and so far he's just as likely to pan out as a middle 6'er as he is a #1C.
Tkachuk - Monahan - Boeser
Shinkaruk -
Bennett - Virtanen
Mangiapane - Horvat - Poirier
Ferland - Jankowski - Pribyl
Three of your players on offense are good shots to make the NHL or have made it. THREE.
Terrible Terrible idea.
It's like Dion Phaneuf all over again except Gaudreau doesn't suck.
