Look at the current lineup
Huberdeau-Lindholm-Toffoli
Mangiapane-Kadri-Dube
Coleman-Backlund-?
Duehr-Ruzicka-?
Hanifin-Andersson
Kylington-Weegar
Zadorov-Tanev
Markstrom
Vladar/Wolf
There are maybe 2 spots up for grabs likely Pelletier gets a spot so one more spot for a prospect. If they move Hanifin they can keep Stetcher or they would want a Dman back. Moving Lindholm opens a hole in the middle but there are not a lot of spots for wingers.
If they get players back for Lindholm/Hanifin I think they will need to move other assets for futures. They need to create the space for younger players to get a shot.

I expect one of Lindholm or Backlund will be gone. Hard to imagine signing them both to extensions and having three centers age 29-35 locked up long-term.
So assuming one of them is moved, there will be room to bring in a Mittlestadt/Luostarinen/Berggren.
