Of that list, I would take a shot on Beau Bennett - a right-shooting right wing with decent possession numbers in a depth role. Also doesn't take stupid penalties like many depth players.
Chiasson is an in-house example who should be brought back.
For older players, Versteeg is another I would take back.
Daniel Winnik has always been great defensively and put up good possession metrics in tough circumstances. Not sure there is any need for a left winger, though.
As with last year, both Parenteau and Stalberg are serviceable in middle rotation roles. Parenteau is a right-shooting right wing who can score, while, like Winnik, Stalberg probably doesn't fit as a left wing.
