Still lots of time to fill out the depth spots, but trades will have to be made to create the cap space. And that doesn’t even address the fact that the rest of the forward core hasn’t been touched. I hope Treliving has more up his sleeve than this.

Scrub Rinaldo scored 2 fewer points than Jankowski. In almost 30 fewer games. He's a fast skater, and he's aggressive. That's a much better 4th/energy line skillset than Jankowski IMO. Robinson is similar except he's huge.
The guy they're arguably going to miss most wasn't on your list - Reider, who I thought blossomed in the POs.
