In personel, it may look the same. But I think this lineup does not need major changes, just a smart trade and a little bit of shake-up. I would love to see Bennet getting 1st line minutes and finally developing into what he was drafted for. Tkachuk is only gonna get better and given a guy like Kaprizov, who is of same age and is incredibly talented, this line could be lethal. Backlund is finally signed and has a great chamistry with Matt. They could be rolling for years. 3rd line has Ferland and healthy Steeger (resigned). This 3rd line can provide good secondary scoring in my book.
Of course this how it's supposed to work in a perfect scenario. I am no GM obviously... :-)
