My hope for next year would be to add two prime aged scoring wingers. All 4 lines need to be able to contribute.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Tkachuk - Backlund - ?
Bennett - Jankowski - ?
Frolik - Shore - Lazar
Hathaway

Frolik should be the new face of our veterans on the 4th line, as he'd help guide the line forward. His utilization on the PK will still allow his minutes to be what we'd traditionally expect.

That's only two new wingers - relatively small roster turn-over.

Part of freeing up the cap for those 2 wingers and Tkachuk's extension would include relying on at least 1 of Andersson/Fox being on the roster in place of Stone (and likely one of Fox/Andersson will be included in acquiring one of the wingers)

Unlikely we have the assets to acquire two good forwards via trade, so Frolik will probably stay on the 2nd line and that other spot is opened for promotions from within.
