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.

No matter how you view the depth chart reality says that Ferland, Brouwer, Frolik, Hathaway and Shore (RFA) are under contract. Frolik should slot with Backlund on a great 3rd line with for example Ferland. Problem is we don't have any second liners.... I really hope Bennett can live up to his potential.
Brouwer will stay, maybe we're "lucky" and they buy him out. Shore will likely be signed. Foo? Not so sure about his upside, but fingers crossed.
There aren't that many spots open just by looking at the contracts. It'll be tough for BT to get something done.
