Moving out Anderson, Okposo, Olofsson and Mittelstadt would reduce the average age and the team would again be the NHL youngest.

I don't see mittelstadt going anywhere. Their patience in him is being paid off.

Stillman will play

Mitts is coming along so they'll keep him around.

I'd keep Mitts over Greenway, unless Greenway really shows us something special. I'm a big fan of both Savoie and Kulich but patience is key. If they are ready then 100% make top 9 spots for them. It wouldn't hurt to give them both another year to develop however. Unfortunately if Savoie doesn't make the NHL he's back to the WHL which he is way too good for. He couldn't join the AHL until he turns 20 (as far as I know) which would be halfway through next season

If those predictions are goofy then I'm goofy too- the young players I'm pretty sure we move on from Bryson and Olofsson, players I change my mind on constantly Mittelstadt and Joki- of the older Girgenssons gets the nod over Okposo but maybe they are both gone.
