In my opinion I would buy Brouwer out and have DSP as 4th line RW.

I’m not a huge Duclair fan so I personally would stay away

Fair enough, though I would argue that given he's in a weird spot there's little risk in seeing if he can become the player people thought he might be able to become.

I left Brouwer in there because I'm embracing my pessimism that he'll stick around; even with him around we have a lot of cap space.

As for line combos, DSP and Duclair aren't exactly guaranteed a spot that high so this would still give Gawdin and Foo a real shot at making the team.

think Foo has a real shot as does Mangiapane, just depending who they sign July 1 might make them destined to start in Stockton regardless.

Not many make the jump straight from junior to the NHL, I thin Gawdin is at least a year out from prime time

Gaudreau / Monahan / Tkachuk
Frolik / Backlund / Foo
Bennett / Jankowski / Smith-Pelly
Hathaway / Ryan / Duclair (sign Derek Ryan)
