I think the forwards look about right. Maybe we keep Johnsson and someone else moves to bench.
There is also the chance, if his recovery is not going well, that we don't re-sign Miles Wood (small chance, but there is a chance).
Defense also looks right except Mukhamadullin will play 2022-23 in KHL. They have already announced his loan.
Goaltending is ?? with Bernier's health. May have Daws or Schmid as backup.

Regarding the forwards, I’d prioritize keeping Johnsson to fill in the top 9, dump Zacha, Bastian and Boqvist and sign a top LW/RW such that Hughes and Nico have at sufficient talent around them they both can’t play with Bratt.
On defense, if Smith picks it back up, pulling whomever is looks best from Utica makes sense. If he doesn’t, likely will need to sign someone to be the fifth defensemen until two of Luke, Muk, Walsh, Smith emerge.
Need a 1b goaltender. Hopefully Bernier recovers and the simplest solution is to ride the hot goalie as Bernier and Blackwood have their ups and downs.
Also, at a minimum replace Recchi
