Both Killorn and Hagel should easily exceed 40 points if used correctly. I believe they will have Namestnikov in the top 6 initially, especially with Cirelli out(he won't ne out yhe entire 1st half either, expected back early December). Names isn't well suited at all in a 3rd line checking role, and when he's played with good linemates he has shown some offensive ability. Hagel should also get a top 6 spot to show his potential. While Cirelli is out, rolling
Names-Point-Kuch
Colton-Stamkos-Hagel
Killorn-Paul-ABB/Koepke/Fortier
Maroon-PEB-Perry
This seems solid enough, with Colton/Killorn possibly switching places. It will possibly provide the team with two good scoring lines ans a 3rd line with 2/3 solid two way players and, hopefully,some scoring ability. Once Cirelli returns it's a little trickier, especially if some of these lines ha e found chemistry together. I could see Cirelli hack at 2C with Stammer moving to 2RW, and having Hagel on 2LW, or Cirelli could anchor the 3rd line with Paul and the best other forward fit. Namestnikov could end up on the 3rd line by then if he hasn't worked in the top 6, but he likely will fit in even more poorly if asked to play in that role.
