Welcome to the Forum, I hope you have fun with it.
You're significantly under valuing Vladar, Zadorov & Ruzicka
I don't see Coronato jumping right in on the 1st line, we might try him out at Centre first and I'd like to see Kadri moved to RW, either with Lindholm, Coronato or Backlund to play more of the role and style Matthew Tkachuk did for us. Kadri has been horrendous defensively and a liability at Centre. His line has only looked great when his Wingers were Mangiapane & Coleman
Kylington would be paired best with Tanev, and if he does come back, with Jeremie Poirier almost NHL Ready, I think Hanifin becomes expendable unless he sign's long-term for no more than $6.25mil/yr, in which case Kylington would likely become the expendable one
Need a Big, Mean, Physical, Shot Blocking, Penalty Killing 3-LD like Logan Stanley or Kevin Bahl if you're going to move Zadorov, unless Dennis Gilbert is ready for full-time NHL action
Also need a Bigger & Better 3-RD like Jani Hakanpaa or Pending UFA's Luke Schenn, Justin Holl or mayyybe Andrej Sustr. If Hanifin gets Traded, might want to bring in Ryan Graves and/or Connor Clifton, Kevin Shattenkirk or Matt Dumba as Future Tanev Replacements as well, in which Kylington & Tanev would get bumped down to the 3rd Pairing to manage Tanev's minutes and shelter Kylington
Stecher's okay as a 7th D-Man, but I don't think he's much better than Stone (unreliable/injury prone) or Gilbert (Bigger + More Physical + Improving) and Stecher's certainly not worth any more than the $1.25mil/yr he's already making. I'd maybe Trade for Ethan Bear if we can't get any of the guys above, since he's a Cheap Right Shot D-Man. Would have liked to see Nic Meloche at 3-RD, but it's too late now and I doubt he comes back since he wasn't used at all this season
