Naysayers, I know this is an exercise in futility but being up too early and prompted by an article in The Atlantic I thought this might help pass the dog days.Looking out 4 seasons this is what I think the Jackets roster could look like if prospects pan out. If they don't this is undoable.
Marchenko-Johnson-Chinakhov
Sillinger-Roslovic-Bjorkstrand (OB moved to 2nd line because of age)
Texier-Voronkov-Bemstrom (wings on this line need to get better imo)
Robinson-Foudy-???
Zach-Boqvist
Scozil-Ceulemans
Bean-Peeke
Knazko
Elvis
Tarasov
Laine, Domi & Gav are gone. If Laine rebounds this year he probably is still here but if he does I'd ship him out at TDL.His cap hit will be astronomical. Domi has no future here imo and should be traded for a 2nd or 3rd or a prospect. Gav can easily be traded if the young guys develop if not he will be here.
Add in two 1st rounders in 2022 and firsts in the rest of the years and Jackets could have a very solid team and still be a very young team. Cap issues might interfere but I think the bigger issue is how the young guys develop. Probably will be a few busts/disappointments but the new picks could offset.
