I think we are actually super close to having a very effective bottom six.

x - Bennett - Dube, and Lucic - Ryan - x are 2/3rds of a great bottom six imo. If, say, we trade gaudreau and add hall, I could see a top six forward coming back in the gaudreau trade. Either that person slips onto Bennett's wing or pushes Mangiapane down to it. Both would be fantastic options.

Then as for the fourth line, Lucic - Ryan reminds me a bit of Hathaway - Ryan, now all we need to do is find our next Mangiapane, whether that is Pelletier, Gawdin, Phillips, or a prospect that comes with a Gaudreau trade all of a sudden that is 4 lines with 0 dead weight on them.
