What is everyone's thoughts on who, out of our current NHL D group, will still be around in a couple years time?

Bahl-Andersson
Weegar-Miromanov
Bean-Pachal
Hanley-Barrie

I personally think only 3-4 of them will be around and we will have 3-4 new faces rounding out the group by then.

Weegar and Bahl are all but guaranteed to be here for the foreseeable future and I think the Flames, right or wrong, will push to re-sign Andersson.

I don't think Miromanov and Bean are showing enough to solidify their future here and Barrie and Hanley are obviously not in the long-term plans. Pachal is the wildcard and could go either way. Wouldn't mind him sticking as a 5-7 but with the number of potential graduates coming there may not be room, especially if Andersson stays.

Grusnikov and Parekh will push for spots in the next 1-2 years and Solovyov seems to be coming around of late playing in the minors. We have a plethora of solid D prospects, who will need time but are still promising.

Will be interesting to see what happens with the group in the coming years.
