Personally I'm having a discussion with Sutter about roster construction this season... he has to be on board with more of a youth movement because we aren't signing bottom of the lineup veterans.

IMO Pelletier, Coronato, Zary, Duehr, and Wolf could really change the structure of our roster over the next year with an infusion of energy and skill.

C: Lindholm, Kadri, Backlund, Ruzicka, Zary
LW: Huberdeau, Mangiapane, Pelletier, Dube
RW: Toffoli, Coleman, Coronato, Duehr

LD: Hanifin, Kylington, Zadorov, Gilbert
RD: Andersson, Weegar, Tanev, Stecher

G: Markstrom, Wolf

That roster starts to look pretty deep and injecting 3 first round picks that have been continually growing since their draft (Pelletier, Coronato, Zary) adds that youth and skill.

Contracts I'd try and move would be Vladar (to make room for Wolf) and Tanev (because I think he's peaked but still has value). I'm on the fence about Mangiapane. He's the biggest question mark from me actually.

I'm not sure you can consider Kylington at this point. He might be done.
