I think the move on LD is to move Grizz, as you did, and put Ahcan in his place. Very similar capabilities in the way of puck moving and better power play QB capabilities. Sign a 800K or less 7D, let Lohrei play AHL full time.
Keep Lauko. That package doesn't get Holloway anyhow and Lauko can play third line if needed instead of Holloway. I'd run the lines:
Marchand-Monahan/FA Center-DeBrusk (Keep Marchy-JDB chemistry, I like the fit of Monahan)
Lauko-Zacha-Pastrnak (Czechmates lite)
Hall-Coyle-Lysell (Keep Hall and Coyle together, let Lysell learn from two vets with different skill sets)
Frederic-Koppanen-Hathaway (Gritty line, I like Beecher as the 4C and think he's ready but Koppanen impressed me in his NHL stint and face-offs are ridiculous)
Ahcan-McAvoy (Grizz lite with McAvoy, Grizz-Mac works so why not try this)
Lindholm-FA RD (I like Mayfield as a fit but split Lindholm and McAvoy to maximize both's usage and touches)
Forbort-Carlo (Gives Bruins big 3 defensemen their own pair to anchor, shutdown pair that plays similar minutes to Lindholm/FA RD)
