I say lock down Lindholm too and build the roster up with prospects to keep the cap down.
This forward core looks not only fun but could actually succeed:
Hubderdeau-Lindholm-Nylander
Mangiapane-Kadri-Pelletier
Dube-Ruzicka-Coleman
Duehr-Sharangovich-Coronato/Zary/whoever else earns it
There's lots of room to move players up and down the lineup depending on who gels with who and who is playing well. Duehr, Ruzicka, and Sharangovich all look NHL ready, so it's realistically only two spots open for prospects.

My only comment about this is a big WHAT about Sharangovich? He's been in the league 3 seasons and has a 20g season under his belt. Not only is he ready for the NHL, he's already a very viable middle 6 verging on top 6 talent. In your lineup he's definitely in Pelletier's spot.
