Andersson, Valimaki, Kylington, Mangiapane, Foo and Dube are going to start pushing these guys for their jobs as soon as this year which bodes well for future cap considerations.
For now they are a nice luxury to have and will only push the prospects to be better.

Exactly, could see one of combo of Bennett, Frolik or Stone gone next year to make room for Tkachuk and younger, cheaper talent that can play a regular shift.
