Explore the trade market for Toffoli, Backlund, and Tanev. Honestly none should be in the long term plans based on their age and should be moved.
Hanifin and Lindholm. Explore extensions, if the ask is too high then they should be shopped as well.
Zadorov can go either way in terms of keeping him vs selling him.
Try to extend Phillips and give him an actual look. Extend Stecher.
Don't spend money on UFAs...leverage any cap space to either take a contract on from a team needing to clear cap or save it to help faciliate trades in the season.
This can be the base for the roster - and depending on the market you can look to add some veterans but don't be afraid to start the season with a young team.
Huberdeau - Lindholm - Dube
Mangiapane - Kadri - Phillips
Coleman - Ruzicka - Coronato
Pelletier - Zary - Duehr
Hanifin - Anderson
Kylington - Weegar
Zadorov - Stetcher
Gilbert
Markstrom

Man this is really close to my thoughts, except I'm not a Boudreau guy.
I'm still interested in Toffoli and Backlund IF they would sign for 3 years at reasonable amounts. Kadri I have not liked all year but maybe he can do better, and he's super tough to move anyway.
