XXX-Tavares-Okposo
Mittelstadt-Eichel-Reinhart
XXX-O'Reilly-Pominville

Nylander, Rodrigues, or whoever breaks out fills in the XXX. That's a scary top 9 and most teams would be happy to have that 'second line' as their top line going forward. Dahlin-Ristolainen are likely to be a great top pairing in a couple years. If Ullmark meets even half-expectations, then that team is a contender if not favourite.
Thats 27-30 million tied up in your top 3 centers.

My guess is taveres signs with the jabs, Rangers or islanders.
