Gaudreau for Frost + Patrick
Bennett for Anderson

Hall - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Frost - Anderson
Mangia - Backlund - Patrick
Lucic - Dube - Ryan

Groom Frost right away as a top 6 C with good wingers
Groom Patrick with Backlund, get some reps at C bring him along slow
Groom Dube at C with Ryan kicking around too

Always better to have more Cs than you need and shift them to the wings.

There'd still be money for a UFA D like Vatanen, Barrie or maybe even Brodie.

Giordano - Andersson
Hanifin - Vatanen
Valimaki - Kylington

Rittich

That leaves about $5-6 million for a goalie and depth players if you get Hall for around $8 million AAV and Vatanen for around $5 million AAV.

Not sure if it's a better team, it would really depend on how good Frost, Patrick and Anderson are I guess.
