THIS IS NOT AN EFFORT TO CREATE A ROSTER FOR THIS SEASON OR THE 2023-2024 SEASON. It's simply an experiment on trying to identify assets that should be key parts of the impending and ongoing rebuild. I've tried to limit the main roster to players who will definitely be on the team going forward plus prospects who have a good chance at being top-6 forwards or top-4 defensemen. If I've left anybody out whom you think should be included, please let me know. (For my purposes, it's the point of this exercise.)

The idea here is to illuminate positional depth and identify specific areas of strength (particularly LD) and weakness (notably G, but also LW and RD).

Players shown on the IR list are guys I think are helpful as depth personnel, but certainly aren't key assets.

Players shown on the LTIR list are those who should be gone soon, if only by the expiration of their contracts, and whom I can't see being part of the renaissance.

Draftee signing amounts are intended to reflect my understanding of level of promise. I'd love some education there, too.
