Agree with all of this but i will say that having two or 3 rookies on d is not a great move historically.

Weegar/parekh
Bahl/?
Pachal/?

If we fill internally we have 3 rookie defenders. That may leave your young goaltender exposed more than you want. Also brewster who would probably fill that middle pairing and isn’t exactly fleet of foot. I think our defense isnt mobile enough which lead to a lot of our scoring woes and why i advocate for trading for a young defender or free agent or offer sheet.

You would have Bahl/ mystery defender as your middle pair allow brewski time to learn.

Fill that middle pair with a mobile young defender, do something about a young top six center the bones of a pretty good team are there.
