Well balanced. Although I do think MB will make a move before the season starts, if he doesn't I would be okay with that roster. Just swap toffoli and lehkonen !

I understand why you'd swap, and I also think there will be a move or two, Also, there will be a decent amount of juggling during games, however I believe keeping the 3 Finns, the Danault line, Suzuki/Drouin, Weber/Chiarot, and Petry/Kulak together initially is the best way to be comfortable and effective throughout the lineup right from the first puck drop. Anderson complements Drouin/Suzuki as a triggerman, Edmunson is plug and play with any other D on the roster, and having 3 savvy veterans together that combine to be able to have blazing speed (Byron), agitate like hell (Perry), and score (Toffoli) could be worse. Just don't know if any of them are half decent on draws as none are centers. Again, this is about asset protection and icing the best lineup for game 1 based on today's roster, assuming no other moves

Good effort and it gets them under the cap but doesn't make much sense in terms of deployment.

Toffoli can not be on the fourth line. Just can't.
You need a legit center on the fourth line. Byron is not an option.
What happens when Romanov out plays Kulak and or Edmunson in training camp, how do you get him in the lineup without losing someone to waivers?

IMO you have to try and trade Kulak to get under the cap. He has value and may return a pick at Training camp to a team that has an injury. He is easily replaceable. Romanov and Mete can play either side and edmunson as well. Juulsen, Fluery waiting in the wings.

Problems solved.

I agree with all your points, and also do believe there will be another move or two such as trading Kulak or Weal, however this was just an exercise in what the team has now and protecting as many assets as possible while getting under the cap. I am also of the belief that neither Frolik nor Perry will be put on waivers for the purpose of putting them on the taxi squad as they would easily be snatched up at those respective cap hits. Kulak and Weal may well be and could be snatched up if a trade wasn't made beforehand. Same with Juulsen and Mete. This is why these recent depth signings are so encouraging. It will also be extremely interesting going forward into next off-season with regards to the expansion draft and free-agency.
