As much as I'm for getting rid of Gully (and I am), Tree has an equally huge job in fixing his forward depth this summer.
Gaudreau - Monahan - ???
Tkachuk - Backlund - ???
Bennett - Jankowski - ???
??? - ??? - Lazar
That's how I view our depth chart right now. That's a lot of question marks, and the only players we currently have I'd even want to cross off those question marks with are Spencer Foo for one of the RW spots, possibly Nick Shore at the 4th line centre spot, and Dillon Dube for the 4th line LW if he can outright win a job in camp.

I think that’s a little extreme given you didn’t list Ferland and Frolik. At the very least they will return pieces in trades.
I hate the idea of Dube coming up, I think he really should spend at least a season in the AHL. The two draft misses in Klimchuk and Poirer are hurting. Trading Granlund away was also a mistake imo. And then there’s Byron. Tre definitely has some egg on his face when it comes to assessing the bottom 6 on this team.
