Reaves - Ryan - Lazar
Brouwer-Mangiapane
Ultimately, Ryan is a good addition and provides us with lots of flexibility in the line up, but I can't help but wish for another top 6 impact center.
The way I look at is Lindholm provides us with more 2 way skill and flexibility, while Neal and Reaves essentially replace what Ferland brought and hopefully even improve it.

This one!
I think adding 3 forwards is the best solution. I had the same 3 with slightly different lines. Could swap Neal and JVR depending on term and $ but I think Neal will be a better contract slightly.
If needed, buyout Brouwer.
