Zary: 50 points
Coronato: 50 points
Then a very solid bottom 6.
That's just about the most complete set of forwards in the league. A lot depends on Marner not falling apart upon arrival though.

But you have a salary cap. It's maybe doable for 1 year and then Zegras, Rasmus and Wolf are RFA/UFA to go along with paying Marner, Coronato, Zary and Bahl this year. Sure, we could remove Backlund and Coleman, but the game is played at both ends of the ice. When the other team puts their superstar on the ice, we put Backlund out and he is out for a reason. Same goes for the 1st PK unit. Someone has to go in this scenario, and someone has to PK and check superstars. Frost? Kadri? Zegras? lol
Team looks worse when you remove some of the depth.
Contracts for our RFAs also could derail this plan.
