Would not be more potent. Even if you replace Kovalchuk with Versteeg I think you have a proper NHL roster.

Not a good one, at least.
This team needs to move beyond having ineffective 5v5 veterans on their roster.
Also, I don't think the Flames will make the mistake of transitioning Jankowski to wing at this stage. Guy should be our 3rd or 4th line centre, and develop there in my opinion.
I do like seeing Mangiapane with good linemates though. He had one hell of a year in the AHL, and just like every other young player Gulutzan got fed, he got absolutely screwed when it came to linemates. I can't find his combos online, but I remember a fair bit of time being spent with Stajan/Brouwer/Hathaway etc.
