Thank you for your analysis! I really like the angle!!

I think you are in the ball park, but would suggest that Ferland is a 3 because he played with JG and SM. I know you factored a decrease, but I believe even a top goal scorer like kessel would only result in a net increase of 10-15 goals from Ferland.

Fundamentally I think it comes down to Bennet, Ferland and BPs system. Are Ferland and Bennet 10 goal guys on the same line (then I think you need another Neal/Perron) or are they 15-20 goal guys next year (then no addition is needed). The wild card is BPs system. Can the Defense chip in an extra 10 goals? If yes, then again you are down to only one solid scorer.
